Why doesn’t the United States teach history in school? The US annexed Texas, California, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and western Colorado from Mexico. They thought about annexing the rest of Mexico but then realized they would have more Mexicans than Americans in the US.
They also tried to annex Canada, but after British troops and Canadian militia captured Detroit, burned Buffalo, fired rockets at Eastern cities, and burned Washington, the White House, and the Capitol, they realized it wasn’t such a good idea and gave up on it. (Since then they have fixed up the White House and it looks very nice!)
The Star Spangled Banner: “And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.” Yes it was still there but it was all shot to shit.
Congreve Rocket. A Fourth of July kind of weapon used on America in 1814.
PLUS: Just imagine what could happen if Canadians put together a few suitcase nukes, walked them into the US, and left them in lockers in northern US cities.
(US Backpack nuke.)
Canada could do up a bunch of these within a few days.
