The Result of the War
The treaty that ended the war established our boundary between Canada and the U.S. that we still respect today.
The war maintained British identity in Canada, but not the Canadien or the First Nation identities. Britain began to ignore First Nations in making decisions and wanted to isolate them on reserves. Britain began to assimilate non-British peoples.
