No no no.... that doesn't match what Eagle says, thus, isn't true. Just like the people that lived in Canada and marched down and burned the Whitehouse to the ground (and it burned burned burned... and we're the ones what did it!)... those weren't actually Canadians. Nope.
Well I am sorry to say that the facts just aren't in your favor. The "Militia Myth" was invented by Canadians after the War of 1812. After British Regulars repulsed the US incursions into England's NA Provinces Canadians took sole credit along with credit for burning the Presidential Mansion. Little is said by Canadians that the same force that burned Washington was defeated later on when they tried to do the same thing to Baltimore. They only want to wrongly and falsely take credit for the sacking of Washington. Indeed every British force in the new United States was repulsed...little of that is talked about amongst Candians.
