Young girls' styles followed the same pattern, their waistlines also going up. Here is a picture of what the empire silhouette looks like: ]]> 2017-05-28 20:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157374 Dress | Men 654509 https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157392 A popular style for men was flowers on their coats, with hessian boots and a tall hat. Young boys would also wear this, and basically looked like exact copies of their fathers.]]> 2017-05-28 20:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157392 Dress | Women 654509 https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157402 Women would wear undergarments like corsets and bustles. The dresses were wide with gigot style sleeves. Since the skirts were so wide, women would also wear shawls to easily drape over themselves. The final touch was a hat. This was a different shape and size for every woman. When young girls got to the age of 5 or 6, they would wear corsets, but skirts slightly shorter than full-grown women. This was to accommodate for a more active lifestyle. There were also special gowns for baptisms.]]> 2017-05-28 20:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157402 Dress | Men 654509 https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157415 First of all, there was professional attire, which was a black suit. There were also waistcoats and vests. For leisure and sports, men would wear breeches or knickers. For clubs, there was ceremonial attire, like ribbons and gowns. Finally, there were accessories, like a tie, pocket watch, cravat, stock, detachable collar, top hat, and greatcoat. It was customary to dress little boys in dresses and skirts with wide-brimmed hats ad long hair like their sisters. When the boy became 6, 7 or 8 he would wear his first pair of long pants, and get his first haircut.]]> 2017-05-28 20:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157415 | First Nations' Opinion of the War | 654509 https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157535 The First Nations were very deeply involved in the war. The First Nations sided with the British. The British offered the First Nations promises of a homeland, and protection of First Nations' territories. ]]> 2017-05-28 20:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157535 Housing 654509 https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174157971 The typical urban house had red-brick masonry.

Those only changed because of the times changing. What the war did do was cause a growing sense of Canadian national identity. If that didn't happen, Canada probably wouldn't be as independent as it is now.]]> 2017-05-28 20:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174158931 Works Cited 654509 https://padlet.com/654509/i5ebkyu6gu54/wish/174159422 Arrival.
