Your area get swindled out of land also? Look at a map of Northern Maine.
The top third of the state should be part of the Maritimes. Those 'Yankee
peddlers' must have hoodwinked the British into giving that up.

Oh, yeah... Originally the border was going to be the Columbia River, so
we would have all of Washington (not to mention Pt Roberts!). Vancouver,
WA, was supposed to be the western HBC outpost. However, the US wanted
"54-40 or fight!". We settled on the 49th Parallel, except it takes a dive
south right after Pt Roberts so we get Vancouver Island (and the Gulf
Islands, but they get the San Juans - including the American AND British
parts of San Juan Island...)

Ah, yes, the infamous Pig War. Amazing such a small, insignificant thing
could have such lasting consequences.

You lost, Chuck.

Better than being lost. Any day.

But you apparently are.

I finally figured you out, JimH. You're a put-on. It's been obvious for a
while, but since you began using it as your email address you have revealed the
essence of the canard:

Everytime somebody makes a snide remark, you jump in to reinforce it. All this
time I thought it was a personality defect, but it turns out to be a game
played by a guy with the email address "me2@......"

Nicely done.

You through out an insult and I simply threw one back at you.

You are a gem. A sniveling, whining gem who cannot accept the defeat of his
candidate graciously and move on in life.
