Hey guys. I’m still fighting the war, so I’ll be pretty busy. Nothing too new is happening so I’ll just write about the people who helped the British. First, we have Richard Pierpoint. He was born in Africa, and was taken in as a slave while he was still a teenager. He soon became a soldier for the Loyalists, and became an expert at Fist Nation-style warfare. He made a petition to gather Black people in the region to settle together, which would defend against the Americans. Richard made a Black Military company called the Coloured Corps, and they fought many battles. Next is Laura Secord. She was forced to house Americans soldiers. She overheard American soldiers talking about an attack on Niagara Peninsula. She warned us about it, and we sure got ready for it. We took everyone but six as our prisoners. Last is John Strachan. He was a teacher, but then became an Anglican priest. He is now a Champlain for the troops. When the Americans were looting and burning down the town in York, John negotiated the surrender terms with American General Henry Dearborn. That’s all I have to say for this blog.
Sincerely
Mike Anderson III
