I lived in Torrington during the '60s I would have been 10 yrs old in 1965, so used to go to Appledore quite a lot, and can remember going onboard the Nonsuch while in Appledore when she was finished and ready to sail can't remember the exact date but would have been in 1968. I can remember it being a small ship. Always wondered what happen to her.
the war of 1812 cant be seen as anything but an absolute US victory, the US had achieved its objectives of ending British impressment of American sailors and ending British support of the natives "but but the US failed to invade Canada" in fact Canada was never the goal for the US in fact the US had voted AGAINST the annexation of Canada as the Americans saw the Canadians as unfit for US citizenship as the democratic-republicans feared that the Canadians would sway the vote in the favor of the federalists and the democratic-republicans did not want that, when it comes to the reasons why the US attacked Canada the US had actually been trying to be diplomatic for several decades about the issues of Britain illegally impressing American sailors and Britain illegally supporting and arming the natives with weapons to conduct guerilla warfare on the US, Britain had persisted in their endeavors of illegally impressing American sailors and illegally supporting and arming the natives with weapons so the US had no choice but to attack Canada to get the UKs attention "but but the white house was burnt down" burning down a building does not mean you won the war, using that logic wouldnt that mean Napoleon won against Russia since Moscow burned? people who makes those claims also often forget the fact that the US had also burnt down the Canadian capital York (Toronto) in 1813 so it cancels out, in fact the British had several other objectives they wanted in the war of 1812 as well, Britain had wanted the US to cede territory to the UK, the British wanted to annex Maine and modern day Minnesota, the British also wanted to create a Native American buffer state which would have spanned from Ohio all the way to Wisconsin to block US westwards expansion if established but the British failed to gain a single inch of US territory despite trying to, the British had conducted several invasions into the US the British invaded the US at the battles of Baltimore, Plattsburgh, and New Orleans all with the intention of taking US territory but the British failed each and every single time, the US had successfully repelled every British invasion attempt into the US, in fact the US was the ONLY country that gained territory in the war of 1812, the US had successfully routed both the British and the Spanish out of Florida the US took Florida, the US had successfully expanded its territory west against the interests of the British, the British had been supporting, arming, training, and even fighting along side the Natives with the intention of preventing US westwards expansion but the British failed, the British had promised the Natives to create independent Native American nations but once again the British failed, the US had also successfully taken Carleton island from the British, the US also never lost a single inch of territory, the British on the other hand failed to gain a single inch of territory despite trying to and the British ended up losing Carleton island to the US, even the "great" Arthur Wellesley, the British Duke of Wellington and later the official prime minister of the United Kingdom himself concluded that the British did not win the war of 1812 and the peace negotiations should not make territorial demands "I think you (Britain) has no right, from the state of war, to demand any concession of territory from America. [...] You have not been able to carry it into the enemy's territory, You cannot on any principle of equality in negotiation claim a cessation of territory except in exchange for other advantages which you have in your power. [...] Then if this reasoning be true, why stipulate for the uti possidetis? You can get no territory: indeed, the state of your military operations, does not entitle you to demand any." "but but the British were also fighting with Napoleon at the same time!" a common narrative brought up by British revisionists yet they often never mention the fact that Napoleon is the one that had actually been fighting entire massive European coalitions Napoleon had to fight against Prussia, Russia, Austria, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, several German states, several Italian states, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the French Monarchy, and many others, and because Napoleon had to fight with so many massive European coalitions this allowed Britain to safely sit and hide on their island away from mainland Europe, in fact even when the war with Napoleon was already over in the war of the 6th coalition the war of 1812 had still continued long after that and the British STILL couldnt beat the US even WITH their attention taken off of Napoleon, in fact the US largely fought the war of 1812 on its own while the British had various support from many different allies, the British had help from the Canadian Militia, the Native Americans, the American born Loyalists to Britain who fled to Canada after the British lost the revolutionary war also known as the United Empire Loyalists, the British also had help from the African soldiers and the British even had help from the Spanish and yet Britain still couldnt win the war of 1812, the US had also won more battles in the war of 1812 both land and sea, yes the US even defeated the British navy in several naval battles for the great lakes "but but the Americans sued for peace!" the US in fact had never asked or sued for peace with the British in the war of 1812, in fact the British were the ones asking for peace with the US first, first time on November 4th 1813 and then the British wanted negotiations again in August 1814 at Ghent, the US never asked for peace with the UK the US military had been gradually getting better and more experienced as the war went on and the US was more than capable to continue fighting the war, to sum up the war of 1812 the US effectively convinced the British to never mess with the US again, the US successfully maintained its territory integrity and successfully defended itself from British invasions, the US successfully achieved its objectives of ending British impressment of American sailors and ending British support of the natives, the US had won more battles both land and sea, the US was the ONLY country that successfully gained territory (US westwards expansion, the US taking Florida, and the US taking Carleton island from the British) the British failed in their objectives of taking US territory and the British failed in their promises to the Natives to create independent Native American nations, the British were the ones that asked for peace with the US not the other way around, with all these facts in mind there is not a single person with a functioning brain or who has the capability to read a book can claim the absolute lie that Britain "won" the war of 1812, Britain didnt win anything in the war of 1812 not even close, the US had far more success than British revisionists and British nationalists would like to admit but of course British propaganda and folklore tries to brush US successes under the rug and try to erase and rewrite history to make the UK look as good as possible and the US as bad as possible with British nationalists picking and choosing the facts they like to hear and ignoring the facts they dont like, it wont work though, it will never work as people with actual functioning brains can see past British propaganda and lies
Why Canada would deface, demolish and disregard such a fine fellow as Sir John A. Macdonald amazes me to no end. If a nation cannot embrace a human being with all of the human faults, failures and frailty that every human does possess, and still refuse to embrace the goodness of the human being; then such a nation will cease to exist. The Canadian people should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done against Sir John A. Macdonald. It's a pity and a crime against humanity that the educational system of Canada and the Canadian media would be more concerned with confusing children about sexuality; rather than teaching children true historical facts. I suppose that I am wrong in everything that I have just stated; according to the present governing body. I presuppose that a nation of human beings that were educated to read books at the public library and to learn the history of the country they live in; would probably be a nation that the governing body of today could no longer govern. I firmly believe that Canada and all of the western world is being led down the road to ruin by very clever, cruel, sons of snakes. In my opinion these types of individuals don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. And if you are bold enough to protest against the diabolical ways of the governing body...then rest assured, they have innumerable ways to stop you. Freeze bank accounts, personal assassination against who you are; such as calling you a Nazi or Communist and I know the list goes on from there. All the while the governing body of Canada talks about freedom, democracy, human rights and saving the planet from global warming/ climate change. It's pathetic and shameful that the average Canadian is completely illiterate of the great value of the public library. The average Canadian seems to be wholly unaware of the self serving ways of the federal and provincial governments. And the average Canadian gets more poor every day while his/her government lives like the royal houses of Europe back in the Middle Ages. Sir John A. would be exasperated by the extreme. Is it any wonder the poor bugger drank. Sir John A. Macdonald would be outraged and disgusted at how the governing body of Canada is abused and misused by this current generation of liars, thieves, hypocrites, self serving fools and murderers. R.I.P. Sir John A. Macdonald. And you can stir forevermore about what governments have done against your vision. Surely; the governments of today are foul, muddied and obscene. May the day soon come upon us that we are no longer governed by such dog meal as we are today.
Looking at the faculty and staff of the university Gupta hails from, it appears a wealth of foreign colonizers are taking over our own history departments and laying the groundwork for a beleaguered Canadian national spirit unable to stand up against millions of Indian migrants flooding in and transforming the country into a dysfunctional hub of ethnic strife and corruption because of their historical and ethnic grievances. Some honest historical work would be providing a detailed analysis for why India is a country rife with corruption, ethnic strife, nepotism, crime, sexual assault, and poverty as a warning to what we could become if we abandon the traditions that built this country and import record-breaking quantities of 3rd world mindsets. Especially with work like this being done to justify the already exorbitant entitlement characteristic of Indians, who frequently disrespect and weaken the Western countries they colonize. This video also contains grievous inaccuracies. India was not an economic powerhouse prior to being pilfered by British colonizers, for a multitude of reasons. It does not have a glorious economic past. It's economy developed to the extent that Britain developed and pilfered it. It's actually disturbing to learn about how India actually was (and in many ways still is) and that Canada could become like it if it continues to encourage these forms of subtle and not so subtle revisionism to proliferate. Canada does not flood other countries with Canadian migrants lying about their educational credentials and drawing up schemes to break laws about rental and housing in order to fleece other migrants, who they prejudicially select to rent to. We export quality people while importing people eager to benefit from Canadian institutions and deploy them against the founding populations who built them.
*Fun fact:* Had the war lasted into 1919, British Prime Minister Lloyd George was considering replacing Field Marshal Douglas Haig. The list of replacement generals he had in mind included both Canadian Arthur Currie and Australian John Monash.
Waste of tax payers money. There is no such thing as to going into space. The Firmament prevents us. Ask why the Antarctic is off limits except for guided tours. What are they hiding beyond the icewall.
Canada is no longer democratic. All our institutions and political parties are corrupt and no longer serve the citizens in any way. Canada is almost the same as China , a blend of communism and fascism .
Also left out that it was the 2nd last battle and yet the deadliest of the pemmican wars. A battle that was fought in Ontario a few hours later on that very same day was the last time the HBC and North West Company actually engaged in combat hostilities.
Boy howdy, our lives are jokes compared to those of old. Been there old top had my frog idea when I was a kid. Come to working age and got a job at the local pool store cause I loved the water, lo and behold if my idea ain’t sitting on a shelf in front of me. If any of yall think you have a million dollar idea. Act. If it’s just a part act on it. That part could act as heart valve or some other life saving deal. Don’t stop inventing.
I have been watching your videos for a long time.Your video is perfect and the content is very good but why doesn't your video get views, likes?? Do you know that
Could a similar Charter be declared for Canadians, led by First Nations? Restart Canadian industry and food security, resources manipulation rather than exploitation. Provide housing and business opportunities to Canadian people?
We have a War of 1812 hospital and cemetery site here in western NY in Wiiliamsville, a few miles east of Buffalo. I'm not sure if any archaeoligy was ever done before they built houses on it. The cemetery is on a separate plot of ground south of tge hospital/garrison site, contains American and British dead I believe from the fighing at Ft. Erie.
Vraiment bien fait. Bravo. J’avais lu le livre de William Weintraub sur Montréal: Vice et Vertu. Les deux personnages manquant à votre vidéo, je pense, sont Al Palmer et Lili Saint-Cyr ( oui on voit une photo mais vous n’en parlez pas). Merci!
The College singing group I belonged to in the 70’s, in Winnipeg, Manitoba boarded the Nonsuch at The Museum of Manitoba, in Winnipeg for our promotional photo. This fascinating story clearly passed us by in our preoccupied youth, but I’m glad to catch up with it now.
Absolutely gorgeous historic recording!This really tugs at my heart strings as this was played atvmy grandmothers funeral in 2008 when she passed away.She loved Portia Whites voice and her music.I cry everytime I hear this ❤😭
