Ever study your ancesters? A branch of my tree had the founder of

when married, became Laura Secord......ever hear of that name? Most
likely NOT, as Canadian History is not studied in Amereeeeecan schools.
Historians there only study themselves.


I was aware of the Battle of the Beaver Dams, and the role of a woman in
it, but, alas, I did have to Google Secord's name. *By the way, the War
of 1812 is also part of U.S. history.

Yes, it is. Every time I meet an American Citizen, MOST dont know ****
about History. They only seem to know about American History.
A great relative of mine helped carry Brocks body off the field at the
Battle of Queenston Heights.He was also a member of Butlers Rangers.
