Hello this is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live about INVASION! William Hull decided to invade Canada with a 2000 men from the United States. He did this on July 12th, 1812. He established himself in Sandwich, and convinced the surrounding residents not to oppose his invasion. Isaac Brock wanted to fight in Europe against Napoleon, and was continuously asking Britain to station him there. But when the invasion and war started of 1812, he stayed in Canada to defend. Brock tried to get Upper Canada to side with him and not trust the Americans. He told them of the dangers of siding with them, and how France could end up with the Canadians due to the Americans repaying debt, after the French helped them finance their American Revolution over the British.
