Our textbooks talked about Canada, they talked about it is a British Colony.
And I'm not sure how you could claim the US lost the War of 1812, as the US didn't lose any territory, and we got the Brits to stop impressing our sailors, and to recognize the US as not only a country, but as the Super Power of the entire hemisphere, including South America. At which point the US and British have been probably the most inseparable ally in modern times. I don't claim that we won, and neither do the textbooks. The war ended in a stalemate. Canada instead of being a free country remained a British Colony, the Brits were not able to retake additional land in the Americas, as they had wanted, but nobody lost land. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dana Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:50 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Tim, what's your thoughts on this? > > hehe.
