How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation
Nov 15, 2016kneice rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Title is overdoing it, but this is a great introduction to how Canada came together to avoid the schisms of its neighbor, and to form a protective pact with Britain in response to U.S. notions of a takeover. The fledgling nation was also favorite repose for Confederate spies and adventurism, making itself a target of the North. A fun and edifying read, if somewhat more detailed than the sometimes disjointed story deserves.
