Who was sent to report on the rebellions of 1837-38?

  1. Sir John A. McDonald

  2. Lord Durham

  3. Louis Riel

  4. James Wolfe

The correct answer is: Lord Durham

Lord Durham was a prominent British statesman and Governor General of British North America in the 1830s. He was sent to report on the rebellions of 1837-38 in order to investigate the causes and recommend solutions. The other options listed are incorrect because Sir John A. McDonald was not a significant figure at this time, Louis Riel was not involved in the rebellions until 1869, and James Wolfe was a British general who died in 1759.
