ogliq2 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 As you all know or should know lol, 2012 is the bicentennial of that noble, heroic, valiant, brave, monumental effort by our neighbors to the south to take this land and make it a part of the USA. (They were ousted repeatedly by the native Americans with a little help from the Brits ....)............... Anyway, anyone hear about any battle re-enactments planned for the summer, or where would one find out more info ? ... like to take the kids PFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrorshowrot Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 It makes me laugh the states history text books say the war was a "draw" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marth11 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I see it as a draw since both sides kept losing lol, but to be honest the British soldiers here didn't wanna be here, they would, of rather have been in France fighting Napoleon even Brock didn't care about here, he wanted to take down Napoleon, as for battle re-actment's I am not sure, Fort George has one usually.
