Peregrine Maitland's influence on the residential school system

This article should be expanded to include the work Maitland did in suggesting "civilizing" influences on the aboriginal people of Canada, most notably his report of 1820.

--Allanaaaaaaa (talk) 23:54, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently says "In his role Maitland was the first to propose the civilizing techniques that would eventually lead to the establishment of the Canadian Indian residential school system." Is it just me, or does this sentence seem to imply that the residential system, and its "civiliing techniques" are universally accepted as a good thing?
We should neither endorse or condemn this system, whether or not it has taken a huge hit in its public perception in the last decade or so. I am sure neutral wording that doesn't seem to endorse the system is possible. Geo Swan (talk) 04:24, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Slavery

I didn't read this properly the first time "Thomas Maitland possessed plantations in the parish of St. Thomas Middle Island on the island of St. Christopher in the West Indies." Thomas, his father, not Peregrine. Okay. So, his father owning plantations very strongly implies he was a slave owner.

It is widely known that John Graves Simcoe made importing slaves into Upper Canada illegal. He did not emancipate any slaves already owned in Upper Canada. About half the Family Compact owned some slaves, Jarvis and the others. Peter Russell (politician), administrator when Simcoe went home on sick leave for several years, owned Amy Pompadour and her three children. Joseph Brant owned slaves. Simcoe's proclamation placed a liability on former slave owners who freed their slave, making them responsible for them if they proved unable to find work, or committed crimes.

Well, this blog site says

After the war, the new lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, Sir Peregrine Maitland, rewarded about 70 veterans of the Colored Corps with land in Oro township, near Barrie, Ontario. Maitland opposed slavery — he refused to return runaway slaves to their owners in the American South, and he stopped American slave hunters at the border.

If we find RS that document when and why he repudiated his family legacy of slavery, it would certainly belong in the article. Geo Swan (talk) 04:43, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
