You have just demonstrated the truth of Leacock's statement - 'Little is known ..' ... you've demonstrated his conjunction as well, clearly - '..because..' - simply by your denial of the obvious truth that '... the US lost it.'
Which cannot be true - we won, and we win daily to this day, because the jackboot of the US military is not yet directly on our necks, we have our own free and independent nation, we even have a song about it that you might find educational, one line goes 'true north strong and free' .... another, later on, goes 'we stand on guard for thee'
And we did, pretty g.d. well effectively too, thanks to all loyalists fencibles and those injuns you detest so much ... you might consider checking out the battle of Moraviantown where the great chief Tecumseh gave his life in defense of our freedom
... interestingly enough, the name moravian comes into the struggle elsewhere - some band of US kill-and-grab specialists attacked a completely peaceful tribe called moravians, much further south, about thirty years previous ... they shot a few, then murdered the rest with mallets, presumably to conserve ammunition ... i do not know what connection the victims had with the place in Ontario, other than the brutalisors they had in common
It would be useful for you to remember that one great step in the founding of this g.w.n. was the arrival of the survivors of the 1770s murder and robbery in the thirteen colonies to the south ... we're still here, still loyal, still able to kick your butts back to your cracker hovels should you try again to take from us this land - uelac.org ... [yes, 'we' - in your weak and transparent ad hominem jabs at my roots, you denigrate at least a dozen ancient tribes in at least eight countries of the present, along with the great majority of your own nationality who share one or more of them]
Yes we are aware of what they use to indoctrinate you down there - we get all your media, along with that of the rest of the world ... we tend to notice most what they don't tell you, things like the real motivation behind US forces marching on us in 1812, which was the perception among your rulers du jour that UK preoccupation with the napoleonic wars would render them unable to defend us .... that was largely true, they had little help to spare in a hurry, Brock and his regulars were very much in the minority among our defense, our victory was that of citizen militias, of fencibles like the voltigeurs, joined most often informally and immediately before battle by anyone who could arm himself and get there in time .... a lasting quality of the canadian psyche - in 1914 we had by far the highest and quickest voluntary signup against fascist aggression of any place on the planet, and again in 1939
The 'reason' they give you for attacking us, the impressing of sailors, was a pretext for our extermination and the taking of our land ... as for whatever happened down in Lousiana, as you point out it happened after the war was over, probably was intended as diversionary tactic by some doofus in Whitehall, in any case it has no bearing whatsoever on canadian history, it's too far away, too completely irrelevant
Bottom line - we have successfully defended this land against the greed of your rulers ... take a hint, learn from history, do not rob your fellow americans, yanquito |
