Description
Ontario) and Montreal without any assistance. “There was a lot of saber rattling going on,” said John R. Grodzinski, a history professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, who specializes in the War of 1812.Yet despite its population advantage, the United States had only about 12,000 men in uniform, including “too many incompetent officers and too many raw, untrained recruits,” explained Donald R. Hickey, a history professor at Wayne State College and author of various books on the War of 1812. A number of other factors also favored Canada at the war’s outset. For one thing, the British controlled the Great Lakes and were therefore better able to move troops and supplies. Moreover, they received support from Canadians, who many Americans falsely believed would welcome them as liberators, and from Native American tribes worried about U.S. expansionism. “The USA was woefully unprepared,” Hickey said. “Plus, the logistical challenges of waging war on a distant frontier were daunting if not insuperable.”
When U.S. General William Hull assembled a force of about 2,000 men and led them to Detroit, the jumping-off point for an intended assault on nearby Fort Malden in Upper Canada, the British found out about his plans by seizing a schooner with his baggage and papers on it. To make matters worse for Hull, about 200 Ohio militiamen refused to go beyond American territory. The general nonetheless remained confident. On July 12, 1812, he took his men across the Detroit River and into Canada, where he immediately issued a written proclamation telling inhabitants that they would “be emancipated from tyranny and oppression.” “Had I any doubt of eventual success I might ask your assistance, but I do not,” Hull declared. “I come prepared for every contingency.”
These words proved immediately laughable. Hull briefly laid siege to Fort Malden but soon withdrew after warriors under the leadership of Shawnee chief Tecumseh intercepted his supply train. British commander Isaac Brock then chased the Americans back across the river and began launching cannon fire at Fort Detroit from the Canadian side. Brock arranged for a bogus document to reach the Americans that told of large numbers of Native Americans approaching Detroit.

So it’s been awhile since I was here, and I’m not exactly sure where we left off, but you mentioned I didn’t’ reply to your comment on your analogy with goods entering Canada, etc…. It’s most likely because I didn’t know what you were talking about. I’m not sure though, because I really don’t remember. I guess I need to eat more blueberries for my brain. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy lately, I didn’t get to see much coverage of Prince Phillip’s death. I heard that he made the arrangements himself though. Yep…so I’ve received both vaccinations now and I’m faring well with it, but my friend didn’t. She had a really bad reaction to her first and is in a bad way right now. She can’t have the second. I feel terrible for her. Everyone else I know who received it, has been fine. I don't have my volume turned up, but I'm thinking your feature may be a remake of Tammy Wynette's version of "Stand By Your Man"????

The Eleventh Hour is the very time when all is still possible to act, to save a situation, to go beyond difficulties and triumph over them ... Each of us has their own moment, the world has too ... Never give up, never despair ... something can be done ... always ♥
La Onzième Heure est ce temps précis où tout est encore possible pour agir, pour sauver une situation, pour aller au delà des difficultés et en triompher ... Chacun de nous a son propre moment, le monde l'a également ... Ne jamais abandonner, ne jamais désespérer ... quelque chose peut être accompli ... toujours ♥

To be free is first a personal and inside feeling ... in heart, mind and no one can stop that . So feel free to be who we are, what we want to do, or not to do , follow our path despite criticism and jealousy , it's the real privilege in life ... Beautiful week dear friends ♥
Etre libre est tout d'abord un sentiment personnel, intérieur ... dans son coeur, son esprit et personne ne peut empêcher cela. Aussi se sentir libres d'être qui nous sommes, ce que nous voulons faire, ou ne pas faire , suivre notre chemin, en dépit de la critique ou de la jalousie, c'est le véritable privilège dans la vie ... Belle semaine chers amis ♥

Behind the grey clouds, there is a light, beyond trials, there is a hope ... Another week begins, with many things to live, so I send you a ray of sun ... because when we look at the sky, or in the highest place inside us, we find peace and joy ... Happy Monday to all ♥
Derrière les nuages gris, il y a une lumière, au delà des épreuves, il y a un espoir ... Une autre semaine commence, avec beaucoup de choses à vivre, aussi je vous envoie un rayon de soleil ... parce que lorsque nous regardons vers le ciel, ou vers la plus haute place à l'intérieur de nous, nous trouvons la paix et la joie ... Joyeux Lundi à tous ♥
