While the conflict did not predestine the emergence of Canada as a nation, outcomes like the sustained sovereignty of British North America and the collaborative experience of resisting American forces would eventually help to feed Canada’s transition from British colony to dominion to independent nation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish and French Canadian colonists and First Nations alike recognized that American invasion threatened their own independence and way of life.

The hard lessons learned in the War of 1812 further strengthened the physical and economic ties between Upper and Lower Canada, driving greater colonial unity. More viscerally, the conflict spawned shared stories and heroes that represent a common thread in the histories of all of Canada’s founding peoples.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block-list__item product-block-list__item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__header\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"card__title heading h3\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mm-metafields\"\u003eFEATURES:\u003cbr\u003eProduced By: RCM\u003cbr\u003eDenomination: 1 Dollar\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTECHNICAL SPECS:\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 36.07mm\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silver\u003cbr\u003eFineness: 0.9999\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 23.17 grams\u003cbr\u003eBullion Weight: 0.745 Troy Ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXTENDED INFORMATION:\u003cbr\u003eObverse: Queen Elizabeth II\u003cbr\u003eReverse: War of 1812\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Brilliant Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003eQuantity Produced: 25,000\u003cbr\u003eMonarch: Queen Elizabeth II\u003cbr\u003eTheme: 200th Anniversary of the Wat of 1812\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Assorted","offers":[{"title":"CA19878812","offer_id":51918700020013,"sku":null,"price":85.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4844\/5231\/files\/116864_rev_640.webp?v=1773688431","url":"https:\/\/globalbullionsuppliers.com\/products\/proof-fine-silver-dollar-100th-anniversary-of-the-canadian-arctic-expedition-2013-copy","provider":"Global Bullion Suppliers ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
