It is such a relief that the war is over! There is peace between Britain and the US. Life is so much better, and I now i don't have to worry about my children's safety and future. The joy inside me I can not express, I am just so proud to be British. They fought a brave battle. Britain I believe took the upper hand when the war with Napoleon  ended and Britain then could have sent in more troop to British North America but instead stopped the impressment of American soldiers. Then they signed the treaty of Gaunt in December 24 1814, then every thing went back to normal.
It was a great loss, the death of Major General Isaac Brock. He was a brave man, and served his country well. Unfortunately on October the 13, 1812 at approximately 4:00 am, a bullet was shot and it pierced Brock's chest.
The Americans had attacked British land, a place not far from Queenston. Brock was woken up early in the morning by gun shots, so he took his troops ( witch was not many ) and went to the place where the battle was. As he walked up the hi9ll where the Americans were he was shot. The few British troops retreated to wait for more enforcement. By mid- afternoon Major General Roger Sheaffe led British troops back to the battle field, accompanied by Ahyouwaighs ( the leader of the Haudenosaunee ) and his men. Britain won the battle and did not lose many men, and were able to capture 958 of the american troops.
