Plunder, Profit, and Paroles: A Social History of the War of 1812 in Upper Canada
George SheppardThe War of 1812 is often credited with having aroused fierce anti-American sentiment among Upper Canadians, creating a unity which ensured continued loyalty to Britain and played an important role in the defence of the colony. It is also claimed that all of Upper Canada benefited from British military spending, setting the province on a course towards prosperity. In this revisionist history George Sheppard challenges these assumptions.
