Dear General Sheaffe,
Time to rejoice!!!! The war with Napolean is nearly over!!!! You know what that means; I'll finally be able to send you troops from England. Also, now that the war with France is over we can stop the blockade of Europe. Now enough of this we must talk about what to do about all of those loyal to the Americans. I have come up with several ideas but I think the most effective one is the Alien Act. It outlines all those who were loyal to the Americans as foreigners. I would also like you to write a list with all the names of the people loyal to the Americans on it. We also need a solution to reward those who were loyal to us during the war. I don't have any ideas so just give them some land or something. Tell me what you come up with.
Signed,
His Royal and Heavenly Special Amazing Awesome Majesty

Lundy's Lane
Dear His Majesty,
I have some interesting news for you. I am not sure if it's goo or bad because it is about a battle with no real victor. A little while ago on Lundy's Lane near Niagara Falls we fought a battle with the Americans in the dead of night. We could not see anything. Both us and the Americans fired on our own men several times. We both suffered heavy casaulties but in the end the Americans retreated to Fort Erie and we pulled back to fortify ourselves and to get reinforcements. We were waiting for an attack which never came. The next day both us and the Americans claimed victory. I am not sure if this is good or bad but I think sir the Americans are beginning to want to end the war sir, I think this may have been the last battle we fight. Please inform me on the developments on the war with Napolean.
Signed

Anger and Happiness
Dear General Sheaffe.
You have some colossal gaul to dare blame me on your loss at Put-in-Bay. My orders to defend the American coast were necessary, the losses could have been much greater had you not defended the coast. My decisions do not affect battles your useless command does. This though is not the least of my anger. This anger is not directed at you but it is at that fool Proctor. At night I have dreams about RIPPING HIM LIMB FROM LIMB AND THROWING HIM IN A PIT FULL OF CROCODILES !#$#$^%!&%#$!&!!!!
Despite all my many angers I am still very pleased that you have managed at leaast one victory at Chateauguay. It is an important strategic victory like you said. You must continue to fight this war with unrelenting vigor until it's end despite all odds.

His Majesty

Good and Bed
Dear His Majesty,
There is bad news and unfortunately some more bad news. The Americans, sir, attacked us in Lake Erie and because you told us to station more boats on the American coast we did not have enough vessels to fend off the Americans and they destroyed us easily. We are bringing more warships to defend the Great Lakes but they will take awhile to get here so at the moment we are undefended. To tell you this greatly pains me but not a week ago General Proctor was fighting near Moraviantown and was running out of suplies so retreated back to the town and left Tecumseh and his men to fight alone. Tecumseh though was shot and killed and the battle was lost. Immediately after the battle I had General Proctor cout-martialled and suspended for a period of six months. Enough with the bad news though. Shortly after the Americans launched an assault on Chataeguay in Lower Canada. It was not a very large battle in terms of casaulties but stategicly it was perfect. It has allowedus to maintain control of Montreal yes but it also showed our forces that we can fight beside the French. I hope you are not too upset by this but I also hope this makes you slightly happy.

Queenston Heights
Dear General Sheaffe,
I was greatly saddened upon hearing the news that Major General Brock had been killed. Despite the loss though I was pleased to hear that you were still able to defeat the Americans in the battle. Overall I am happy with the progress of our nation in this war. We have, against all odds won many a battle and successfully overcome the Americans on several battlefields. I would like you to place more vessels on the coast to defend against any possible American invasions. Keep the alliance with the First Nations strong and inform me of all victories and losses and other developments.

Alliances
Dear His Majesty,
Good news at last. On August 13 1812 the First Nations leader Tecumseh and I met near Detroit and agreed to help us if we return the land we sold to them. Not three days after, we launched an assault on the American fort of Detroit. When we were approaching the First Nations shouted their most ferocious war cries and before a single musket was fired General Hull surrendered despite the number of troops that he had at his disposal. A victory this early on has certainly struck courage into the hearts of our soldiers who are now beginning to believe that we may just be able to defeat the American soldiers. I hope you are pleased by this news.

Major General Isaac Brock

The King's Response
Dear General Brock,
Your letter has troubled me greatly because I can think of no way to combat the growing threat. If the Americans do attack Canada then I fear Europe can spare few troops for you because we need all the soldiers we can get to fight off Napolean and the French. You may have to rely mostly on the scant amount of farmers and villagers from Upper Canada. This I worry about to, for a large amount of the settlers in Upper Canada are from America and may likely take up arms agaisnt you then with you. Try to avoid war at all costs but be ready for it anyway. Please inform me on the developments.

The Start of the War
Dear His Majesty,
The Americans have grown restless and are starting to get hostile. The War Hawks, as they are called feel they should be the rulers of the world in my opinion and are incredibly irritable. Also your majesty the Americans have the audacity to blame their hostility on us. The Americans are angry about us aparently angry about our supposed blockade of Europe. Then (this is what makes me really angry) the Americans are angry about our First Nations alliances. We are only trying to be helpful and kind to our allies. It greatly toubles me to tell you this but I fear the hostilities will result in war. Please write back with your thoughts and advice.

Journal of a Settler Number 8
Dear Father’s Journal,
Unfortunately, father died in an accident while travelling the fur routes leaving me and my younger brother to look after our mother and three sisters. Sometimes though, we think it might have been good for father to die when he did because not one year after he died the fur trade took a surprising dip. Many people were forced to go back to agriculture (including us); which has all of a sudden become one of the main exports of our region. We make less money now that we are no longer involved in the fur trade but we are not doing badly. As father would say, we may just make it!
Journal of a Settler Number 7
Dear Journal,
We arrived in York just a few days ago and as I said Mr. Simcoe gave us a large plot of land. When we arrived we heard the fur trade is booming for a company called the North West Company. After I learned this news, I managed to convince my sons to think about joining the fur trade, and that I myself would contemplate joining the trade for it is excellent income. With this new venture into fur we may just make it!

Dear Journal,
We have lived in Newark for a year now and are very happy, but feel that despite our happiness we should move to the new capital of York because Mr. Simcoe is giving out very large land grants for travelling loyalists and is very fair. Plus Simcoe is trying to get as many settlers as possible and is even looking to the United States for some of them to come to York, so I'm sure he'll greet us with open arms. We plan on travelling as soon as we can; I will right as soon as the possibility arises; good-bye for now.

Dear Journal,
We arrived in Upper Canada and decided to travel to Newark, the capital. Unfortunately when we arrived in Newark a man named Simcoe arrived and was made the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, and he chose to move the capital from Newark to a place called London and he also established a military base in York. So despite the fact that we are no longer in the capital we are still happier then we were in Nova Scotia. We bought a nice piece of land near the lake so it is quite fertile and very easy to work. So far our life here has been good without many problems so we may just make it.

Dear Journal,
I was reading the communal bulletin last week and saw that the British government had passed an act called the Constitutional Act of 1971. By dividing Quebec into Lower and Upper Canada they have managed to consider the rights of both the French and the Loyalists. So after reading the bulletin I got to thinking that perhaps we should move to Upper Canada where we will have more rights than we do here; and we will be able to own our land. Even though the journey is long and hard but our crops have not been very successful and I think it would be better for us to move. We may just make it!

Dear Journal,
We ended up having a marvelous harvest which filled our small home with corn and wheat. One of the news boys ran by our house shouting about someone named Thayendnegea convinced a band of First Nations to join the British, it seemed like good news. Our life here and the life of others goes on though all the same despite all the comings and goings of wealthier and more important people. Unfortunately though next door - the house with the slaves - one of the slaves accidentally made a mistake while tending to the fields and got in trouble, and I haven't seen him since. Our own problems though - even with our excellent season of crops - have gotten worse. While trying to plant for next years crops there have been heavy gales that have ruined this season. I don't know how we'll make it!

Dear Journal,
In the lot next to us a rather rich family moved in with six slaves in tow (all of them black). I have seen them around the land working on all the hard dangerous jobs that their masters don't like to do. I have seen the masters twice whip them for making even the slightest mistake that had very little effect. A man named Thomas Peters has been trying to give the black peoples some rights but has been turned down twice already so he decided to go to London himself but i hear he has had very little luck so far. Despite all this we have been doing rather well and have managed to cultivate more crops then I expected. We may just make it after all.

Dear Journal,
We arrived in Nova Scotia two weeks ago. We knew that to travel to Nova Scotia would mean some challenges but the shear amount of work to be done just to live here caught us by surprise. Right when we got here we had to go to a stuffy old building to get a land grant from a stuffy old person who was rather unkind. Then when we got to the small plot of land that we had been assigned we found out it was barren desolate and covered in weeds and shrubs that would make it impossible to plant any crops at all. Now two weeks later we have finally built our home and planted our crops but I have doubts that we will be able to cultivate many crops. I hope we will be able to make through the year.

Dear King Henry,
I regret to inform you that the thirteen colonies are rebelling like never before and are causing large amounts of damage.

The Revolution
Dear Lord Palimor,
This is an outrage!!!!#$%&. The thirteen colonies are revolting more than ever before and the problem is not being fixed. All those useless acts you asked me to pass have done nothing but make them angrier! DUMPING TEA IN BOSTON HARBOUR!!!!. I will not have this I expect it fixed soon. With the colonies wanting to revolt we are facing a problem because we are still weak from our fight with France so we will not be able to suppress them. I have a brilliant idea; you fix this or I'll come over and fix you! I will be visiting soon, I expect results.

The Quebec Act
Dear King Henry,
As you most likely remember the proclamation I spoke to you about before is making the French unhappy because they feel we are trying to assimilate them (which we are).The new governor Sir Guy Carleton has suggested that we should not try to assimilate them because we may need them if the unrest in the thirteen colonies continues (I doubt it). After Sir Guy suggestion I came up with a solution that I hope you will like. I think we should pass another act like the Royal Proclamation except that this ones is more of a cancelation of some of the Proclamation laws to assimilate the French. It will also open the Ohio valley to the French. Of course I won't do this without your approval so please write back with your answer.

The Proclamation
Dear King Henry,
You requested that I inform you when I come up with a solution so I have. We wish issue a Royal Proclamation (with your consent) that will state several things including: that our laws will be established in all our territories, that we are giving a large section of our land to the west of our territory to the First Nations and that all our peoples trade with the First Nations must be licensed by the governor of that colony. Along with these messages we have some other underlying ones that are that if our laws our to be established in our colonies then the French in Quebec will be forced to follow our laws and we can convert them. Also, we want to avoid war with the First Nations so thats why we gave some of our land. I hope you will allow us to pass this law.

First Stage of Control
Dear Lord Palimor,
Congratulations!!!! I hear you defeated the French and the seven years war is over. Even with this victory I am told that you still have many problems especially that of the French culture still in Quebec and very few signs of conversion. Another problem I have heard is the news that the Thirteen colonies have decided to move into the Ohio valley yet the First Nations are refusing to leave because they do not feel conquered. I hope these matters are resolved soon. Please inform on the developments.

The King
