Family compact was a group of people that made up the executive council of upper canada. In the executive council they decided who got jobs and who didn't, they also decided on the budget control and how to spend it. these people where the decendants of loyalist and believed in social clas and had ties to britain. This small group where often related and ran all northern canada and where often very snobbish. This group was more like a private club in most ways and all dressed alike. Even aristicrat had hard times breaking into these groups. Since these people had special benefits finacially andd invested in the first steam boat bussness and got even richer.
