We need to understand the style of British colonialism as it collaborated with the local power elites of any colony it buried its tentacles in and sucked dry the blood, sweat and tears of the natives it dehumanised and sub-humanised.

Troops from the English colonies that would become the United States supported the British army in the war. But later, during the American Revolution, colonial troops fought against the British at Fort Ticonderoga. And later still, during the War of Eighteen Twelve, the Americans defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain. The defeat not only ended British demands for territory in New England. It also put an end to British hopes of controlling the Great Lakes area.

来自后来成为美国的英国殖民地的军队在这场战争中支持英国，但是，后来，在美国革命期间，殖民地军队在泰孔德罗加堡垒与英国军队作战，而且，自那以后，在1812年的战争中，美国在张伯伦湖的战斗中击败了英国，这次击败英国，不仅结束了英国对新英格兰的领土要求，而且，也结束了英国控制五大湖区的企图。
