    I actually did learn about her just when I was in grade 7. It was a small note from the text book but our teacher made us watch a short documentary of Laura Secord to understand how Canada's success from the past. If only I found this song 1 year earlier before grade 8, I could've shown some friends and acknowledge this wonderful hero. Even with the classmates I had from the last year don't even remember Laura Secord.

    There's something our dear Usonian friends don't always quite understand and that is as much as we admire the vitality of their creative spirit, that spirit has, historically included various attempts to annex Canada or portions of Canada, literally culturally or psychically (i.e. in terms of psyche, NOT ESP) and that the repulsion of this annexation is deeply, if subconsciously imbedded in the national mind. This song, written in a high period of nationalism (from the Centennial years of the mid-60s to the early 1980s), though a pastiche of a 19th century patriotic song, is VERY much indicative of the perennial sentiment (note the cheer from the audience at the high point of the song): you haven't always been our friends. You are now and may it stay that way, but please keep to your darn side of the 49th. Even that number and word 'the 49th parallel' has a great deal of gravity here, more than say, 'The Rio Grande' or 'The Maginot Line' - it is a sacred boundary imbued with a special energy; a permeable membrane, yes, but the line between two worlds.
    As for the comment below that it was 'The British' in the War of 1812, yes, but 'British North Americans' - i.e.: Canadians (with gun power from that Limey Mum).

    Come all you brave young soldier lads
    With your strong and manly bearing
    I'll tell you a tale of a woman bold and her deed of honest daring
    Laura Secord was American-born in the state of Massachusets
    But she made her home in Canada and proved so faithful to us
    Chorus:
    There's American guns and 500 men
    So the warning must be given
    And Laura Ingersoll Secord was the stalwart heart
    Who braved the heat and the flies and the swamp
    To warn Colonel Fitzgibbon
    There's soldiers pounding at the door
    And they come from across the border
    American officers march inside
    It's food and drink they've ordered
    In comfort they have dined and drunk
    Their own success they've toasted
    But they pay no heed to the woman who hears their plan so idly boasted
    Oh, James I've overheard it all
    A surprise attack they're making
    Fitzgibbon they intend to smash
    His men for prisoners taking
    And James a warning never you'll take with your wounded knee and shoulder
    I myself must carry it past the sentries and the soldiers
    It's an all-day tramp to the British camp
    By way of Shipman's Corners
    There're snakes and flies and sweat in her eyes
    There is no respite for her
    She's lost her shoes in the muck of the bog
    Her feet are torn and blistered
    But there's many a soldier lad to be spared if the message be delivered
    So all you Yankee soldier lads who dare to cross our border
    Thinking to save us from ourselves
    Usurping British order
    There's women and men Canadians all
    Of every rank and station
    To stand on guard and keep us free
    From Yankee domination

      theirs's no such thing as an "Irish-American"... if someone has been imbued with American culture then that person is "American"... never a "hyphenated American"... as a "hyphenated American" is not an "American".
      And that go's for any country... if someone is not imbued with the culture of that country... then that person can not call them self's the title of someone of that country... i.e. they can not use the title of American or British or Canadian or Australian or New Zealand or French or German or Nigerian or what ever the name of people of any country.
      Its culture that go's in to make someone who they are... not a document saying... "citizen of"... and the name that Country...
      its culture noting more nothing less... just culture.
      Just before anyone gets it wrong and I end up with racist on my back... Race and Culture are NOT the same thing... both exist initially separate from one another... Culture is social behaviour and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, tradition's... basically Culture means "way of life"... and Race... does not.
      I just wanted to make that very very clear before anyone accuses me of being something as vile as a Racist... like Woke people like to do.
      (I mean Woke people are Racist by a different name... what's that saying... A Rose By Any Other Name Is Still A Rose.)
