Canada

I thought this was relevant in the wake of all this annexation talk…it’s good to remember history.

Of particular note: the Americans under Andrew Jackson were already running red hot from Tecumseh’s Rebellion and other various wars with Native Americans. There was a big racial sentiment at this time as noted by the line in the second column of the first page: “No white man fighting by the side of an Indian will be taken prisoner; instant destruction will be his lot.”

Makes you proud to think about the Canadians that fought in the War of 1812 in places like Fort Erie.
