DID YOU KNOW that Colonel George Washington was once militarily defeated by CANADIANS???
Yes, he was badly defeated by Canadians, French and Indians during the Battle of the Monongahela.

SOURCE:

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

The Battle of the Monongahela, (also known as the Battle of Braddock's Field and the Battle of the Wilderness), took place on 9 July 1755, at the beginning of the French and Indian War, at Braddock's Field in what is now Braddock, Pennsylvania, 10 miles (16 km) east of Pittsburgh. A British force under General Edward Braddock, moving to take Fort Duquesne, was defeated by a force of French and Canadian troops under Captain Daniel Liénard de Beaujeu with its American Indian allies.

The defeat marked the end of the Braddock expedition, by which the British had hoped to capture Fort Duquesne and gain control of the strategic Ohio Country. Braddock was mortally wounded in the battle and died during the retreat near present-day Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He specifically asked for George Washington, who accompanied him on the march, to oversee his burial. The remainder of the column retreated south-eastwards and the fort, and region, remained in French hands until its capture in 1758.

This was an epic battle because the winners had much less troops than the opposing side.

George Washington believed he had angelic help during the American Revolutionary war. He made no bones about it really. He even believed he was visited on a couple occasions

The American Revolution was about Catholic power in Canada that threatened US power, because Christians had came to the New World to get away from Rome. (see: Quebec Act)

Who burned down the WH in 1812?

They says it was Britain, but it could have also been American nationalist who had just thru the Feds (masons & catholics) out of Philadelphia. DC was just built in 1790 in their new home, Maryland.

It was long ago.

...and then Canada sided with the British during the American revolution.

Good job. Such loyalty.

You also loved being ruled over by some crown, somewhere.

You STILL do.

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Yes, George was defeated by the FRENCH while fighting for the King of England and the Brits.

Big fucking deal.

He used what he learned to help us become a FREE nation.

No king. No crown. No bull shit monarchy.

If people actually learned history here maybe they'd actually appreciate what was achieved and fight harder to hold on to it.

...."Smallpox ravaged [Continental Army General Richard] Montgomery and Arnold's forces largely due to exposure to infected civilians released from Quebec. Governor Carleton condoned this practice, realizing it would severely weaken the American siege effort.".....

Nice.

This must be where we learned how to deal with our Native American population. By giving them blankets infected with Smallpox.

If you had of read the article than you'd know that it was General Braddock that was defeated and not George Washington. Washington was able to lead a successful disengagement, while not officially part of the chain of command.
