Re: sacred geometry of the world's longest peaceful national border

["Neil Sinclair/Peggy Rintoul" <rinsin@globalserve.net>]

Well my fine historians, you might be aware that Canada and the United
States have never been at war. The conflict you spoke of occured between the
forces of Great Brotian and the United States of America with Canada
obtaining nation status much later on July 1, 1867. Canadians (British
Subjects) did not feature politically or even militarily very much. There
was a volunteer militia on both sides but the regulars performed most of the
battles with a great deal of indian use and abuse along the way. In fact
militia on both sides refused to cross the border out of their own state of
colony (Upper and lower Canada). Like many wars this one was sat out and not
terribly popular in the great population of either country. Next time you
are up John you might like to check out the battle sites with Gretchen and
us clansmen up here. So sheath thy swords gentlemen and for the good of
Queen and Country take good care. Neil
