I found the writing style very easy reading compared to other brief history books – this one focuses on the stories of the people and how they influenced Canada to grow, develop and expand into its frontiers.
The history of Canada is very different from that of America and that alone was intriguing to me. As an American, our past is filled with wars, bloodshed and the horrific treatment of our native population, not to mention the slaves that we brought over. American history books also don’t focus on the War of 1812 and to read the details of General Brock and all the battles that occurred along the borders was highly enlightening.
What also amazed me was how the establishment of neighboring countries could be so different, especially since they started out so similarly. The influence of how the countries “achieved” their freedom from Britain had a dramatic effect on how the government was formed, how political offices would be held, their views on monarchy and much more.
