Innocent villager

Innocent villager’s newspaper entry 26

                The Treaty of Ghent was signed a few short days ago in Berlin. All of the main leaders sat in a room for 5 months negotiating what the agreement would be. This means that the war of 1812 is finally at an end. After two and a half months of the Canadians fighting the Americans the war is at a close. The Americans had this coming from the first gunshot. They were disorganized and outright not very smart about this war. It was pointless. So the Americans lost, the Canadians won, and the Americans got what was coming to them.

Lieutenant Colonel de Salaberry

Entry 17

                Today was the battle of Chateauguay. We Canadians won of course. For the first time in history we French and the British finally agreed upon something, that we all hated the Americans. Those nit-witted Americans couldn’t win a battle even if we surrendered. We were greatly outnumbered and yet we still managed to make them surrender. They are as disorganized and foolish as a toddler. At one point in the battle I could’ve sworn I saw the Americans fighting each other. How daft of them.
