019: The Patriot War (Canadian Almost War 3)

America: Secret Wars is back with a five part series about the skirmishes between the US and Canada that almost led to a third war with the British Empire in the 1830s. In Part 3, Trevor is joined Bailey and Nic from Totalus Jeffianus (@jeffianus.bsky.social) to discuss the Patriot War, a failed Canadian Revolution where the US somehow managed to fight and lose on both sides.
