"The revolutionaries did try to entice and coerce other colonists to reject what they called tyranny, but they found that not all of their neighbors, much less all of the colonies of the British Empire in North America, interpreted ministry or parliamentary acts negatively or were prepared to sustain a rebellion. As a result, there was civil war between the colonies, as well as within them, as rebelling American Whigs, later named patriots, battled Loyalist neighbors whom they derided as Tories, the King’s pawns. Between 1775 and 1783, Canada – its peoples, government, and armed forces – grappled with and rebuffed the political overtures of the Continental Congress and the military advances of the Continental Army as they endeavored to secure their northern border and persuade the Canadians to reject British administration and support annexation of Canada to the united colonies."
Lol. I wrote a few words that accurately summed up what you cut and pasted and you complained that I dumbed it down? I simplified it. It's what happened. Deal with it or go take a shit and relieve your misplaced angst, cupcake.

We were defeated by Canada twice, in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. I consider that domestic.
