Good morning Samwise. SAM of course knows much more than I do about our battles against Canadians but here is my attempt at a response. I'm sure he can correct me and set us straight about our attempts to move on Canadian territory. :)

From 1775 when the Continental Congress authorized an invasion of Canada to the invasion attempts during the War of 1812;

A lot of the battles we already know about involve Canada. I think we often think of it as the battles for the Northwest Territory, the Great Lakes and battles against the Brits, french and Indians without connecting them with Canada per se.

These links will provide an idea of how we really know about them but don't put a "Canadian" face on them neccessarily, imo.

Well, I plead guilty to sleeping through history class. LOL. I knew there were some American incursions into Canada, but I thought they were freelance attempts, not federally sanctioned. I know we wanted Mexico...ala manifest destiny. I didn't sleep through everything.
