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.

    These days are rainy and windy, as if April would remember us we're still in a versatile time , where different seasons can appear in the same day **** So I imagined a moor, and woods, with this mysterious mist wrapping trees and shadows ... Beautiful new week dear friends ♥ Ces jours si sont pluvieux et venteux, comme si Avril voulait nous rappeler que nous sommes encore dans une période changeante, où différentes saisons peuvent appararaître dans la même journée **** Aussi ai je imaginé la lande, et les bois, avec cette mystérieuse brume enveloppant les arbres et les ombres ... Belle semaine chers amis ♥ Music by South London HiFi Misty Moor ♥♥ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O5Bl6bA7Uk&ab_channel=EnyArwen

    So you were reading that Americans were keeping daylight savings time all year? Hmmmm, I’ve heard rumor of people wanting that, but it’s not the case right now, with the exception of two states….I think Hawaii and Arizona. My brother used to live in AZ, and I think I remember him saying their time didn’t change, and my aunt lives in Hawaii….and she’s said the same. ~ So yeah, I believe our vaccination delivery has really ramped up. I’ve even had my first dose. I think it’s now available here in FL for anyone over the age of 16, so I guess I can now check on my oldest getting it. I hope you have a great Easter! Will it just be you and E, or will you be getting together with the whole family?

    Hi Greg. Yes Chill Spot is just the pits, the absolute pits! I will never be going back there. I am on Scenes feed now, it's a great site. If you are interested in taking a look, here is the link (https://www.scenesfeed.eu/fi) This place seems to have been abandoned by the admins. Yea Brussels has really dropped the ball when it comes to the vaccine roll outs. I can't argue that. Where is that scenery in your bg? It makes me wish that I could travel again. Here's wishing you a great Easter Greg!

    Hi Greg, I was going to get back to your most recent comment and PMs about Michael Collins, but I have been having terrible trouble with this site for the longest time. It's very very slow, and that makes it very hard to get back to people. Anyway, here's wishing you a great weekend ahead mate.
