Entry: Say It Loud: Isolationist-Proud! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/say_it_loud_isolationist_and_proud#14346 Post contents: MN.; --With New England accounting for half of United States shipping, it was simply not an issue of import with New Englanders so that should say something alone. Congressman John Lloyd, Massachusetts 1807-1813 testified that not one time had one of his constituents raised a complaint. My take is that the issue of impressments was little more than a bone to attempt New England support. -The War of 1812 began in earnest with the invasion of Canada in July 1812. Thomas Jefferson infamously was quoted saying that conquering Canada, was a "matter of marching" akin to the rose petals awaiting the liberation of Iraq from Saddam. The American invaders were repulsed and the Brits, in turn, invaded and took Detroit. Sent at: 2008 11 21
