Letters ... AGAIN!?!?!?


Haha! This is my 1982379182465765th letter I found ever since I arrived! These letters were written by an American soldier. I feel it is important you get both perspectives of the story. Voila! Here is my brilliant magnificent piece of work that I did not write!

Dear Elizabeth,
We had invaded Canada successfully. We have finally arrived and we are currently stationed in Sandwich. I feel this war is unnecessary. I do agree that the War Hawks was a big influence for this war though. They raised the tension so high and influenced even the President who decided to declare war on Canada!
The locals seem afraid of us and I am strangely relieved. I was afraid that we would have to use force on them. Only you know how much guilt I harbor from being a soldier but I must forget this silly weakness of mine. I will fight for our country either way. Hopefully, if we fight well enough, Canada will surrender soon and there will be no more need for conflict.
Oh, Elizabeth, I must go. I promise I will write again. General Hull had distributed a proclamation around and it is making quite a fuss among the residents. I must go and check what has happened.
Love,
Peter

Dear Elizabeth,
I had received the news. General William had distributed a proclamation flyer around to all of the locals telling them why they should not oppose the invasion. Even as an American soldier, I keep on thinking how I would never follow these rules. I would fight for my country but then again I am not the one being threatened (in a way). He states how horrors and calamities of war will stalk before you in it. 
He also mentions First Nations a quite a bit also. He seems to hold a grudge against them for not selling land to us. I don't seem to understand why our country would be angry at some First Nations for not selling us land but then again it is just me. Anyways, he states fighting by the side of any First Nations person will be taken prisoner. I also find that odd also that they need to fight with the First Nations to be arrested. Before, I thought that we take everybody and arrest them. I suspect he does not want to attack them but only intimidate them because the less enemies the better. Anyways, Elizabeth, do not worry. I will be fine and I will return soon from Canada. I will see you soon!
Love,
Peter
