Avant l’arrivée du chemin de fer, le Canada était un immense territoire accidenté ne comptant qu’une faible densité de population largement disséminée. Au fur et à mesure de la mise en place des voies ferrées entre l’Atlantique et le Pacifique, des villes fleurissent. Les gares deviennent des centres d’activité et de communication. Des emplois se créent, les entreprises se multiplient et, pour la première fois, les Canadiens se sentent unis. La création du Dominion du Canada en 1867 put se faire, en grande partie, grâce au chemin de fer.
On June 18, 1812, the Americans declared war on Great Britain and attacked the nearest target, Canada.

Why are the men and women who saved Canada called “defenders”? Where did the battles take place? What weapons were used?
The American Revolution from 1775 to 1783 was above all a war of clans where neighbors and families clashed with each other. At the end of the conflict, more than 70,000 former inhabitants of the 13 colonies left or lost their homes by fleeing north to Canada. They are the loyalists. They too claim democracy and independence, but by a peaceful evolution and while remaining faithful to Great Britain. Loyalists will transform the wilderness of Canada and shape the future personality of the Canadian people, putting all their faith in law, order and loyalty.
