This classic history is a vital part of Canada's past. The United States declared war on Great Britain and sent its armies to invade Upper and Lower Canada: the Americans, with due deliberation, chose the time and the place, forcing war on British North America when Great Britain was heavily involved in the struggle against Napoleon Bonaparte. The avowed objects of this act of political violence were to extract maritime concessions from the British, to put an end to the British-Indian alliance, and to conquer Canada. After three years of fighting, the U.S. had accomplished little and had been compelled to yield some of their territories in the West and on the Atlantic coast to combined British and Canadian forces assisted by Indian warriors. A new era of American-Canadian relations had commenced, one that has lasted in modified form until present day.
