Source Information: The excerpt is from Representative John Randolph of Virginia’s speech in 1811. (modified) It has stated that the late Wabash massacre was a result of the British government.

Sir, if you go to war it will not be for the protection of or defense of your maritime rights. Gentlemen from the North have been taken up to some high mountain and Canada seems tempting in their sight.

Agriculture, not maritime right, urges the war. Ever since the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations came into the House, we have heard but one word - Canada! Canada! Canada!
