Tomorrow is the 200th anniversary for the official US declaration of the "War of 1812" against Britain. I flubbed this quiz rather badly... ;) Quiz: War of 1812 battle of the brains theglobeandmail.com Here a Canadian writer laments the war's aftermath... My ancestors and the worst thing that has ever happened to this country theglobeandmail.com What the heroic British colonel Sir John Le Couteur called “a hot and unnatural war between kindred people” had ended that natural kinship between northern Americans and Canadians – in large part because the Canadians decided to abandon the fast-expanding North American culture and then retreat into an agrarian, colonial netherworld for a century. “Compared to the dynamic United States, Upper Canada seemed a sleepy rural backwater” in the decades after the war, historian Alan Taylor writes in his excellent The Civil War of 1812. He quotes physician John Howison, who in the 1820s looked across from his farm in Niagara-on-the-Lake to New York: “There,” he wrote, “bustle, improvement and animation fill every street; here dullness, decay and apathy discourage enterprise and repress exertion.” This was the result of deliberate policies, carried out as part of the colonial administration’s victory dance, designed to prevent Canada from becoming anything like the United States – either in population, in culture, or in economic success. They were, to a huge degree, successful.
