WHEN CANADA WAS INVADED.
What is now happening in Cape
Colony, and Natal happened long
ago in Upper and Lower Canada-
thcse provinces were invaded by au
armed enemy. The two provinces
had then a less population than Nova
Scotia has now. Upper Canada. had
only 95,000, p<~opl~_». and Lower Can
ata 353,000, the latter nearlj' all
French. The United States with
which we were at war, had a popula-
tion of 8,000,000, or nearly twenty
times asmany as Canada. The war
broke out in 1812, when Napoleon
was in the zenith of his power and L.
continued till 1814. before the con-§
queror of Europe was crushed at
\\Isterl"»o. Britain had much else
to do besides defending Canada in
those days, but sent what forces she
c-;uid spare.
'lhe Canadian militiamen English
and French, rallied to the defence of
th' ir homes, and before the war end-
ed no foot of Canadian soil was held
by the enemy, and the Anglo-Canad-
ian armies were in possession of vari-
ous posts in New York, Vermont and
Michigan states. 'lhe battlefields were
mainly near the border in one country
or the other. It may be worth while
to refresh the memories of our youth-
ful raaiers with a few dates pertain-
ing to the only time within the
century past that Canada has been
seriously invaded.
