Canada negotiated civilly, debated rationally, and independence was agreed to by mutual consent (though we kept the Queen -- she's here right now, as a matter of fact -- because she is just so scrumptious). Of course, the initial taking of Quebec was done in that "other" way, but it was the mid-18th century, and the French and English were fighting everywhere. You called it the French Indian War. Canada called it The Conquest of Quebec. But both were really just local manifestations of the Seven Years War
In all seriousness, what Canadians did fight for was "responsible government" (i.e., self-government by elected representatives). There were rebellions in both Upper (Ontario) and Lower (Quebec) Canada in the late 1830s. Chris Green York U.
