war of 1812 cause #4 the war hawks

Dear journal

I believe that America should expand its borders to become the country it deserves to be. Us warhawks shouldn't have to let our Superior country fall be diminished by these inferior countries. After all taking overthem and then making them our own is gonna be as easy as walking in the park.

After the disaster known as the american revoloution, I the king am going to convince first nations not to sell thier land so they can prevent america from expanding towards the west. The americans wont be happy but at least they will have less territory.

war of 1812 cause #2, Blockade

Battle plans

We need more method to prevent napoleons plan to conquer the world become a reality. We will use what is left of our navy to blockade Europe, therefore blocking people from trading with france. Im sorry for those who rely on the french for important goods but oh well its better than the French ruling the world.

The fur trade returns

HBC report

When we first built our trading post the fur trade expanded drastically. In the south other traders were using Montreal as a base. Our companies remained intact even after new france came under british control. The competition became so intense that 2 of my competitors joined together to make the northwest company. The northwest company got the best furs but in the end we eventually beat them.

Structure of land in York

Dear Journal

A good governer must always keep track of his plans so I will use this journal.

I want to create a society like England so I will make huge crown lots for the rich and well educated people while the church will get Clergy lots. The goverment officals from Newark will move to these special designated lots near Lot street. The late loyaslists will recieve regular lots.

War at wrong time wrong place

Dear Journal

I needed settlers for york but sadly though there was a war preventing me from getting any. There were still no settlers so I had to make an offer that allowed people from United states to move to upper Canada and receive land grants for free. I know this is a terrible idea but I have no other choice
