US Civil War, the Canadians pushed the US back to Washington & burnt down the White House?

Question

Was that the Civil War, or the War of 1770? (are they the same thing?), or the War of Independence? So how can Americans consider Canadians as 'less than them'?

Answer 1

Buy a history book and read it.

and who ever said Canadians are less than??

Answer 2

isn't Canada like a frozen chunk of blue ice ejected from airlines....only kidding

Answer 3

It was the war of 1812, and Canada didn't technically exist then. (Canada became a country in 1867)

The war of Independence was probably somewhere around 1776 (I'm not too sure), the civil war was around 1861-1865.

Americans probably just consider us "less than" them because they're more powerful than us now (in general) and they tend to be quite arrogant :P

Answer 4

You're thinking of the 1812 war.  I don't know why Canadians keep saying they burned the White House when it was actually English and Welsh soldiers who came directly by boat and landed in Virginia.

Canada did not even exist yet. Back then people in what became Canada were just British subjects.
