The Upper Canada Tories were formed from the elements of the Family Compact after the War of 1812.[1] The movement was an early political party and merely a group of like-minded conservative elite in the early days of Canada.
The Tories would later form an alliance with the Parti bleu in Lower Canada after the Union of 1841 and finally merge as a single political party, the Conservative Party of Canada, after 1867.
