The war of 1812 again divided Canadians. In the city of Detroit, Reverend Richard, loyal to the United States, actively helped to enlist Canadian volunteers, an action that earned him imprisonment by the English in Sandwich after the fall of Detroit. While Tecumseh's Amerindians were intent on attacking Detroit even before England had declared war, Canadians on the British shore were assessed a tax on gunpowder from the United States. In the opposing camp, Canadian neighbours and brothers alike, joined the nearly four hundreds volunteers commanded by two of the Babie brothers to contribute greatly to the takeover of Detroit by General Brock on Aug 16th. The ultimate division of the region into two nations split the population. They were once referred to as Canadian, there after became known as French Canadian. In 1820, Upper Canada numbered only four thousand Francophones among the one hundred and twenty thousand inhabitants. Immigration from Lower Canada (Quebec and Acadia) then subject to an economic crisis would not pick up again until 1830. New parishes blossomed, such as the one in Belle River founded in 1836. Windsor flourished as the center of the French Canadian community. The Railway arrived in the Southwest during 1854 bringing with it even greater numbers of immigrants from lower Canada. These immigrants settled in northeastern Essex County area and around Pain Court in Kent County. The following parishes were created as a result: St. Francois Xavier in Tilbury (1855), St. Joseph in Canard River (1864), Annunciation in Pointe Aux Roches (1867) St. Clement in McGregor (1881), St. Joachim in St. Joachim (1881). Meanwhile, in (1859) the Jesuits founded Assumption College which would later become the University of Windsor (www.uwindsor.ca). The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary arrived in Windsor to found St. Mary's Academy, an institution for young girls. The French speaking population was large enough to justify a weekly paper called Le Progress which the Pacaud brothers began publishing in 1880. Father Wagner from the St. Alphonse Parish, founded the Hotel-Dieu, Windsor's first hospital in 1889.
