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?

I believe he's trying to make the point that most Americans are pretty
stupid because we don't know the facts of 'Canadian' history.

Of course, not much happens up there, and we have plenty to remember with
our own history.

I wonder how many battles of Iwo Jima were fought by Canada anyway?
