Post 12: There Are A Lot Of People To Talk About...

July 18, 1813

After a year, I finally have come home, and have the chance to sit down and write. Much has happened since my last entry. As always, my instincts were correct, a war has begun! It happened on June 19, 1812, or at least that's when the Crazy Rebels declared war on us. As for when they took real action however, that was on July 12, 1812. I can't believe what they did! They invaded us with some crazy amount of people and took over sandwich! Now they are trying to get people from our side to join them! At least no one I know is joining. The reason that I haven't wrote for a while is because I could not stand back. I joined the fight on the front lines for the past year. Sadly, I got injured and they sent me back home. At least the upside to the situation is that I learned that while in the military, you hear quite a bit of what’s going on, and I have a lot of news about many different people. So, here is what I know about A Few of the different people.

General Isaac Brock is the first person that I know about. He's a General on our side, and from what I've heard, he's a really whiny guy. The whole time he's been stationed here before the war, he's been begging, "Oh PLEASE let me go to Europe. PLEASE! I don't like this place. Let me go! Everything is boring here!" And stuff like that. In any case he's has been doing a lot for us now. The only problem I have with him is something called "The question of loyalty". Let me explain what it is. He had all of his troops running around and questioning the loyalists to see if they are still on our side. The reason why is because a lot of the loyalists have been running back to the Crazy Rebels, and we don't want any more of that to happen. Now that's all fine and dandy, but he went to question JEFFERY. That REALLY got me mad. If there is a Loyalist who would never betray our country, it's Jeffery. They went and gave him a really hard time, when he is one who is extremely loyal and would never go join those psycho Rebels. That's the reason why I don't really like that guy. Oh, and he's a complete coward! 

The next guy I've heard about is Tecumseh. I know, nice name right? This guy is a Native from the Shawnee nation. He is this guy who was really upset about the selling of "His peoples" land. Ha! He's lucky that we're letting him and his "People" continue living there! Anyways, he has made an alliance with us, and we have promised to let him keep the land they own in exchange. Apparently, he's a fan of General Brock over there, though I’m not sure why. His support has helped us win many battles against the Crazy Rebels, or at least that's what others think...

I have to go right now, so I will continue in my next entry. Until then!

July 21, 1813

Okay, so I'm back. I guess there is no point in wasting time, so I'll just get straight to it.

Okay, so where did I leave off? Oh yeah! Next would be Richard Pierpoint. He lived in Bondu, Africa and was made a slave when he was only a Teenager. He escaped during the Crazy Rebel Revolution, and joined a team on our side. However after the war, the Crazy Rebels would send in people to find all of the slaves that escaped during the time. So, this guy got permission to gather all of the former slaves in the area to live together so that they could help each other from being re-captured. Now that this war has started, he's organized a Military group to help fight, which is what they have done.

Laura Secord, who is my personal favourite, is who I will talk about now. The reason I like her so much is because not a lot of women really get recognition. Not to mention she was very brave to do what she did, which is something I admire. Laura Secord was forced to live in a house with Crazy Rebel soldiers, and one night, she heard them talking about an attack they were planning on us. Where they were going to attack would give them a huge advantage in the war if they won, So Laura knew she had to take action. She walked 32 Km through a FOREST until she ended up meeting with some Native people. They took her to the General of the area, to who she explained the situation. Because of what she did,  we won the battle. Not bad, right?

Okay, so the last person I've heard about for now is John Strachan. I don't see why he's so important but, oh well. John was a Chaplin for our troops. In a battle against the Crazy Rebels, we were forced to retreat, and those Crazy Rebels were running all around town doing Crazy Rebel things. This Strachan guy went to the leader of the Crazy Rebel troops and negotiated with him. In the end, the Crazy Rebels got York, and apparently it was better terms for the people living there, but that's still pretty stupid to just give up York.

Anyways, that's all that I heard about while I was in the Army. It's not much, but it's more than I would have known before, if I didn't join. Kaden is still out there fighting, and Jeffery is too, so I'm a bit lonely. Thankfully, I heard that Jeffery is coming back soon. That's all I have to write at the moment, but I will write again soon. It's important to write now, while so much is happening. So, when something else happens, I'll be sure to write!
