Then considered America's "longest war", an armed standoff between US
and British troops on San Juan Island was part of a larger border
dispute. The simplified, popular version of the tale recounts that the
war began when a US settler shot a Hudson Bay Company pig, but very
few people actually know how the war ended. Find out how the
Confederate Navy played an important role in the crazy political drama
that finally ended the war and established a permanent international
border.

Here's some local activity from that same time period.

Nice story.
The note at the end of the story says "Also, it should be added,
newspaper accounts are usually rather unreliable, and should be
approached with caution." How true.

----------------------------------------------------
Halifax would be a viable home to anti American people. *Lots of Halifax was
settled after the revolutionary war by British loyalists from the USA.
They could not abide being the losers and still live on this side of the
border.

Not just Halifax. *So many came that they decided to split the
original Nova Scotia into two provinces... us and New Brunswick.
$%^%$#$ yanks... always trying to take over and change perfectly good
situations.

So the losers from down here came up there, kicked your ass, then pushed you off into your own province?

That's hilarious!!

Well Dummy... *my mother's people were part of those loyalists.
Dutch/Danish who had property in Harlem. *First they did settle in
what is now New Brunswick but eventually came over to the good decent
God fearin' people of the Digby area.
A lot of those Loyalists people were of substance in New England and
probably felt they deserved something from the British for staying
loyal and losing everything.
BTW *we already had our own province... they just took a little more
than half of it and created a new province.
I guess we can't complain, they acted as a buffer between us and that
rabble south of the border. *;-)

Thus leaving you hanging onto Canada by a thread of land. Who knows.
Maybe the next perfect storm will break you free and leave you rabble on
your own fantacy Island.

So what?
Two of the four Atlantic Provinces are already islands. If it happens
to us I'll be able to boat all the way around our fair province.

In that beer can boat of yours?

Suppose I could borrow that little 'rubber ducky' raft of yours.

You could but I don't have it propped right yet. It's probably as slow
as your floating beer can at the moment.

When you can get up to 27 mph... Call me.
Maybe we can get a little race going for some 'beer money.

Come on down, I'll race you!
