Daniel Webster and the Invasion of Canada

From Daniel Webster on the Draft: Text of a Speech delivered in Congress, December 9, 1814:
You may sing to them the song of Canada conquests in all its variety, but they will not be charmed out of the remembrance of their substantial interests and true happiness.
Having finally put aside Wallace's 400 page history of Canada, I decided to pick up a shorter read during lunch with this speech of Daniel Webster, little realizing how much it touched upon a major part in that history.
