Who was Lord Durham?

  1. An English reformer sent to report on the rebellions of 1837-38

  2. The British Monarch at the time

  3. A Canadian politician advocating for independence

  4. A military leader during the rebellions

The correct answer is: An English reformer sent to report on the rebellions of 1837-38

Lord Durham was not the British Monarch at the time, as the Queen during the rebellions of 1837-1838 was Queen Victoria. He was also not a Canadian politician advocating for independence, as he was a British politician sent to investigate the rebellions and came to the conclusion that responsible government was necessary for the colonies. Additionally, while he did have some military experience, Lord Durham is primarily known for his political and administrative roles in British government.
