“[The War Hawks are] lawyers all, with an eloquence exceeded only by verbosity. They have been raised on tales of the Revolution told by elders who have forgotten much of the horror but remember all of the glory. They are … the kind of men who believe in the need to avenge any insult, imagined or real, who know what it means to fight for the land, and who are convinced that the only good Indian is a dead one.”

“Thus the war … ensured that Canada would never become a part of the Union to the south. Because of it, an alternative form of democracy grew up[.] The Canadian “way”—so difficult to define except in terms of negatives—had its roots in the invasion of 1812-1814, the last American invasion of Canada. There can never be another.”
Fascinating read in the context of today’s political climate.
