Les Défenseurs

On June 18, 1812, the Americans declared war on Great Britain and attacked the nearest target, Canada. Although there was only one Canadian volunteer for every ten Americans during the War of 1812, the latter managed to defend their homes and villages against trained American armies. Why are the men and women who saved Canada called “defenders”? Where did the battles take place? What weapons were used?
