The French didn't help us blockade the British at Yorktown simply because they didn't like the British, or because they wanted to help us.\n\nFind who the naval generals were from the French fleet, and you will find your answer. :)

British\n\n[modified below to provide source]\n"British forces march on Washington. At a brief battle on the road, known as the Battle of Bladensburg; the British forces defeat the American forces, who withdraw in disarray, thus opening the road to Washington. The British burn the White House and the Capitol, but the rest of Washington is saved by a strong rain storm. The British, under orders not to hold any territory, withdrew."\nhttp://www.historycentral.com/1812/Washington.html\n\n[another modification to provide some more details]\nI'm not a historian, so I will not pretend to be an expert on this subject.  However, I am learning more details as I go along in the effort to more fully answer your question.  At this point, this is more of a challenge and just plain fun, so it doesn't matter if you should choose this as a best answer or not.  The thrill is in the hunt.\n\nWhat I've determined so far is that the burning of Washington (and the White House) was performed by parts of the British Army stationed along the East Coast. Although the Canadian militia did fight on the side of the British, it seems that they were primarily in the Great Lakes regions where they comprised nearly half of the British forces.  The Great Lakes region was a separate theatre of operations during the war. \n\nThe war was conducted in four theatres of operations:\nThe Atlantic Ocean \nThe Great Lakes and the Canadian frontier \nThe coast of the United States \nThe Southern States \n\nThe commander of the British forces on the East Coast was General Robert Ross who served under Admiral Cockburn.  These two men are credited with leading the forces responsible for the burning of Washington.  From my reading, it appears that Ross probably actually led the forces, while Cockburn received credit as the commander of British Naval forces along the US coastal, providing the means for the landing of the ground forces, and as Ross' superior officer.\n\nRoss, himself, commanded a 4500-man army, comprised of the 4th (King's Own) Light, 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot, and 85th Regiment of Foot.\n\n(The British commander of the Great Lakes forces was Major-General Sir Isaac Brock.)\n\nThere doesn't seem to be any significant work, citable references, or other resources that indicate any ties between the Canadian militia that served in the Great Lakes with Ross' East Coast forces that participated in the burning of Washington.\n\nFrom additional reading, it would seem that the attack on Washington and Baltimore was performed by components of the British as a diversion so that the British forces in the north (with Canadians) could repel the continual attacks from US forces and make an incursion into the US.\n\n\nSo, it would seem, in my opinion, that it was not Canadians that burned down the White House.  Although Canadians fought alongside the British in the Great Lakes region, they were not instrutmental in Cockburne's and Ross' forces on the East Coast that actually did the burning.  Further, just because the British Army in one region contained Canadian militia members, I don't think it would be correct to conclude, in any respect, that Canadians should get 'credit' for burning down the White House.  That would be like saying that Latvia gets the historical credit for the invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Hussein.  They had men in the coalition forces, after all.

Creator was very carefully chosen as it is denotative neutral. I would expect anyone logical to agree that something or some things had to put this macro environment together and take the blame for what is going on in this creation.\n\nAnybody that has a great need to name or have named for them something they can blame or thank, and thus be made happy--is happy by licking up to their translation of creator.. \n\nThem guys at the hall weren't no slouches on putting words together to satisfy a bunch of cantankerous pioneers and just off the boat dandies with some dangling pastors.

Opchanacanough is the name of the American Indian who captured Capt. John Smith. Opchanacanough's half-brother, Powhatan, was the chief and eventually released Smith. \n\nGood luck with your project

Im Chickahominy from Eastern Va and my tribe spoke Chickahominy for over 8 thosand years.  We no longer do, but we still incorporate more native worlds in our language than most other English speakers.\n\nAlso my tribe, my grandparents and even our current chief have insisted that we were the first tribe that the Europeans came in contact with when the landed in East Va.  They tell us that Powhatan (Wahunsonacock) was our chief (they called him Powhatan cause they couldn't say is name).  I dont know how true it is.  But if so, this means Chickahominy was the first language that many of the new Brittish in America learned to speak.  However, the Pumunkey's (our bothering neighbors) also say Powhatan was their chief, so who knows.\n\nI asked my older sister, she said that we (us & the Pumunkeys were once the same tribe)\n\nI hope this helps!

Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) was an explorer of the St. Lawrence River to present day Montreal. Cartier's exploration was the base for France's claim to Canada. Their origional intent was to search for the Northwest Passage to the Orient.\n\nJacques Cartier was a French navigator who was origionally recognized as the European who discovered the St. Lawrence River. Cartier was a born in 1491 at St. Malo, Brittany. Cartier was to make three voyages to North America between 1534 and 1542. On the first voyage in 1534, he thoroughly explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He claimed the Gaspe Peninsula for France and took two Laurentain Iroquois home with him to learn French.\n\nOn the second voyage in 1535 to 1536, he used the two Indian interpreter-guides to plot him up the St. Lawrence River to Stadacona which is now known as Quebec. He continued to Hochelaga (present day Montreal) without them but was discouraged from continuing farther west by the rapids and cold weather. Spending the winter in Stadacona, 25 of his crew members died from scurvy before the discovery of a brew of white cedar saved the rest of the crew. Cartier arrived back to St. Malo in July of 1536.\n\nOn his third voyage from 1541 to 1542, Carter was obliged to serve under the command of Jean Francois de la Rocque do Roberval, although the rest of his former crew did not sail with him. Cartier founded a settlement near Stadacona. Cartier discovered quartz he thought to be diamonds and iron pyrites he thought to be gold. He then again traveled as far as Hochelaga. He spent the winter near Stadacona, where it is thought that at least 35 members of his crew were killed by Iroquois.\n\nCartier later died at St. Malo on Sept. 1, 1557.\n\nALSO TRY.....\n\nhttp://www.win.tue.nl/cs/fm/engels/discovery/cartier.html\n\nhttp://www.cdli.ca/CITE/excartier.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Cartier\n\nhttp://www.publicbookshelf.com/public_html/Our_Country_Vol_1/jacquesca_cd.html
