Why is Canada a separate country?
In: 0
Mainly due to the fact the cities up there never joined the revolution in 1776, because they were not subjected to the same discriminatory taxes and levies the ‘Colonies’ were, so they didn’t have the abject hatred for the Crown that we did. That animosity and Imperial arrogance bled over for the next twenty years, leading to the War of 1812, where the US couldn’t capture Ottawa during that war. I don’t normally recommend Wikipedia, but they have a very good breakdown of the War.
