"I shall commence at the battle of Queenston where I was at the time cannon balls were flying about me in every direction. I left the place during the engagement. After the battle I returned to Queenston and then found my husband had been wounded, my house plundered and my property destroyed."


I choose Laura Secord because without her Canada wouldn't be Canada.  During the war of 1812 some Americans forced Laura Secord to let them into her house and make them dinner. While they were in her house she overheard them talking about making a surprise attack on the Indians.  Early in the morning she snuck out of the house and she ran and walked to the Indian campsite to let them know that the Americans were planning to attack them.  If she hadn't done this, the Americans would have attacked and Canada would be part of the United States.

Laura Secord saving Canada (I made it (I did))

 Laura Secord is my hero because it must have taken a lot of courage to run out like that because if the Americans had caught her they would have killed her.  She was very caring, helpful and kind because she cared for James Secord when he was wounded. In the end because of her bravery and loyalty to Canada, Laura Secord told the Indians that the Americans were about to attack and Canada is now Canada instead of part of the United States.
