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.
But if I remember correctly wasn't the Battle of Queenston Heights
part of Canadian, and not US History?- Hide quoted text -

So, you're saying that every battle fought with American troops
anywhere OTHER than US soil, is NOT US history?
It was a battle involving American Forces...it IS American History, as
well as Canadian History.
My family was one of the first 20 families to settle the Niagara
Region, after the American Revolution.

Douchebag Reggies sock puppet reply. " Multiple Miggs " strikes again.

I can trace my family back to the Mayflower. I want a medal!

Indeed, there were some English rats aboard that ship! :)
