The Burning
And Looting Of York After
The Battle
Along With
The Destruction Of Other Upper Canadian Settlements During
The War Of 1812 Resulted In
A Shift Of Opinions Between Upper Canadians
And Americans
Historian
Charles Perry Stacey Notes
In
The Years Before
The War
American Settlers Had Regularly Settled Into Upper Canada
With
The Colony Essentially Becoming
A "transnational Space," With
The Only Distinction Between Americans
And Upper Canadians Existing
On Paper. However
In
The Aftermath Of
The War
Stacey Notes
A "deep Prejudice Against
The United States," Had Emerged Amongst
The Colony's Settlers. Stacey Further Notes That
The Burning Of York
And Other American Transgressions During
The War
Was Later Used
By Canadian Nationalists
To Create
A National Narrative That Sees
The "birth Of
The Canadian Nation," As
A Result Of
The Conflict
