Post 13: Battles Of Importance

May 21, 1814

I once again have returned from war, since my injury had healed and my nation needed me. (Not to mention Kaden pressured me into going again...) I have now fought many battles, and have learned about many others that have been considered key battles in the war. I have also learned how Overly-confident those dumb Crazy Rebels are. They were all saying, "Oh, winning this war against the stupid British will be like a walk in the forest." (Which is stupid if you ask me, walking through a forest isn’t that easy...) Their reasons for saying such stupid things? Well they say that they have many more people than us (Which doesn't matter if those guys all have less than a quarter of a brain in their head...), That the British are too busy fighting the war in Europe to care about us and send in troops (Yeah, as if.), and they think no one from here will try to fight them. That last one has got to be the most stupid reason I have ever heard. We all rushed to the front lines to defend our precious land, so that was a dumb thing to assume. Anyways, I believe that I was going to tell you about some of the important battles in the war, so, allow me to begin! 

The first battle I will talk about is The Battle of Queenston Heights. This battle started with General Brock on October 13,1812. He heard some gunshots, so he thought "Oh, I'll be fine going into a battle with only a quarter of a force." Needless to say, he died. (*Moment of silence*) Luckily, reinforcements showed up commanded by General Sheaffe, who also brought some native people to help out. Because we had so many people fighting, the Crazy Rebels ran away. Ha! Cowards! 

The second battle Is the Battle of Put-in-Bay. (Nice name, right? Though I’m not sure how the name has to do with any thing...) Anyways, in Amherstburg, we were having problems supply wise because of some people blocking supply ships from getting in through the Great Lakes. Now you might be wondering, "So Alister, why didn't the British come in with their Navy and kick the Crazy Rebels butts?" Well, I'll tell you. Remember that little thing called the "blockade"? Well that was using most of our ships. So when we did take action, we got defeated miserably...

The next battle is a show of how stupid those Crazy Rebels are. The Battle of Chateauguay was on October 25, 1813. In this battle, the Crazy Rebels were trying to invade and take over Montreal to cut off one of supply lines. Thankfully, the Crazy Rebels had horrible communications and bad leadership. I heard that they even accidentally would shot their own men! How crazy is that! They thought they were outnumbered (When in reality, we were the ones outnumbered), and they retreated. How funny is that?!

The last battle I know of that is important is The Battle of Lundy's Lane. This battle has been considered the deciding one. This battle was fought at night, so it was very hard to see. Because of this, there was much confusion, and each side caused injuries on themselves. Eventually, the Crazy Rebels retreated, and we prepared for a second attack. The Crazy Rebels didn't come back for more, so I think we were the ones who won, but the Crazy Rebels think otherwise...

Well, those were the battles that I know of. Most of them showed how absolutely idiotic those Crazy Rebels are, with the exception of Put-In-Bay, but that one was because of the "Blockade". Kaden is finally coming back home, so I really have to go. Me and Jeffery have to go welcome him back, and I'm being called now. I will most definitely keep you posted about the war!
