It's interesting to me, as an United States citizen to read about a loyalist who left one of our colonies and moved to Canada in support of the English. I've often wondered what it must have been like for those who came here and wished to remain part of the Crown holdings. Our history is so caught up in the battle of Independence that we generally over look how those who wished to remain British Subjects must have felt.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972581158834240144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-11816930056531834112013-07-07T08:33:32.011-06:002013-07-07T08:33:32.011-06:00History is fascinating.

It's sad to think about all the amazing family stories that have disappeared over time. I moved so much when I was in school that I never had Canadian history from 1812 on ~ lots of American though (how ironic). So I'm enjoying your and Francie's posts on Canadian history. I also enjoyed your previous few posts that I missed. The national canthem and dance moves were so funny. I was AWOL in the hospital. But I escaped and am doing fine.
