The immediate causes of the War of 1812 were a series of economic sanctions taken by the British and French against the US as part of the Napoleonic Wars and American outrage at the British practice of impressment, especially after the Chesapeake incident of 1807.

The Battle of Chippawa (sometimes incorrectly spelled Chippewa) was a victory for the United States Army in the War of 1812, during an invasion of Upper Canada along the Niagara River on July 5, 1814.

The Loyalists were American colonists who were loyal to Britain at the time of the Revolutionary War. They defended Britain, but were eventually overthrown by the Patriots (those who were against Britain) and were forced out of their homes. Thousands of loyalists migrated to British North America in search of a new life. About 30 000 loyalists had migrated to the Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, etc.) by 1783 and 1784. Although the Loyalists supported Britain, Britain did little to assist the loyalist families who were driven out of the homes.

The Constitutional Act passed by the British Parliament in 1791 divided the Province of Québec into two distinct colonies: Lower Canada in the east and Upper Canada in the west. The new constitutional act that repealed the Québec Act of 1774 did not concern other Canadian colonies.

Seigneuries was a form of institutional land that was distributed to people in New France. Seigneurs were soldiers and supporters who received large sections of farming land from the king. The land was however divided up in a very unique way. The land was usually 10km by 5km. It was also mandatory for them to get farming families to live and farm part of the land (habitants). The land was located near or along the St. Lawrence River. The seigneurs also had to have a mill and chapel for the habitants.
