@princessrose17 The Fenian raids & Revolutionary War also saw British Canada & the USA on opposite sides.

[princessrose17]

ah, the war of 1812. the only time Canada and the USA were on opposite sides.

and not unrelated, Canada kicked the American's ass (and burned down part of the white house)

@Eddythebeast666

no problemo- keep in touch if you want info on a topic we touched on you think I might know about; I might ask you for info-help one day too! cya

@slizzler1 I've enjoyed our conversation Sir. All the best.

@Eddythebeast666

yes bigotry/ tribalism-conflicts exists nearly everywhere on all continents- but I like to believe the 'war' against it goes on worldwide and slowly gains ground

[Eddythebeast666]

@slizzler1 We are in agreement. It's a pity so many of our respective countrymen prefer to point fingers rather then take the lessons of past mistakes to heart. Aside from "The book of Negro's" which interested me as part of my families history I don't know many sources on the subject. Mostly I've been following my Mi'kmaq/French ancestors. My British ancestors are harder to trace because one married a Catholic & the rest of the family severed all ties. Bigotry is hardly limited to race. Sad.

@Eddythebeast666

Once again

I'm not criticizing slaves being freed- I never implied that.

I stated clearly how ex-slaves faced discrimination as a historical note- to balance any ideas that they always melted in well into the Loyalist societies as free persons. Obviously you know about Freetown in Nova Scotia- as one such example.

I should note here that I research blacks in Western history and I'd like any in depth pms you wish to send me on the topic that you are familiar with.

@Eddythebeast666

yes- I agree that the time has long since passed- most nations leaders have always made stupid prick decisions that shed blood needlessly at some point; I like to think humanity can progress by trying to learn from history and break the cycles of stupid decision making.

[Eddythebeast666]

@slizzler1 My family has far too much blood on our hands to point fingers or pass judgement for anyone else's wrongs. I do wish to point out that in declaring war in 1812 the Americans of the day were making exactly such a judgment.

I disagree with their validity of their decision.

Which obviously is all I can say on the matter as the time to right the wrongs has long since passed.
