Discover the historical context behind today's headlines with this comprehensive look into U.S.-Canada relations. Canada and the USA could have been a single country if history had unfolded differently. During the American Revolution, the Thirteen Colonies invited Canada to join, but it remained loyal to Britain. Later, the War of 1812 reinforced their separation. Had Canada joined voluntarily or been annexed, shared language, economy, and culture might have unified them under one government, creating a vast North American superstate. However, Canada’s strong ties to Britain and its preference for gradual independence maintained its distinct identity. Despite their similarities, differing political systems, governance styles, and historical allegiances ultimately kept them separate nations.

Codex 1.4 Ben Franklin’s Autobiography 

Tudor King Henry the 8th (1491-1509-1547) is probably the most well-known and most studied of English monarchs. His reign is often seen as a prelude to and the forerunner of the British Empire and English activities on the North American continent. Certainly, without the institutional changes he brought, the wars he fought, and the religious differences he ushered into his country, England, and therefore Britain likely would have never risen to the status she ultimately achieved. His life was rocked by repeated scandal, religious schism and lustful ambition making King Henry the Eighth one of the most fascinating and mixed characters to influence North America’s history.
