The Upper Canada Tories were formed from the elements of the Family Compact after the War of 1812. The movement was an early political party and merely a group of like-minded conservative elite in the early days of Canada. The Tories would later form an alliance with the Parti bleu in Lower Canada after the Union of 1841; they would finally merge as a single political party, the Conservative Party of Canada, after 1867.
