British North America
The War of 1812, a victory by British loyalists and British forces in British North America who had had successfully defended their borders from an American takeover, formed the Dominion of Canada in 1867.
Gopher Baroque remebers the early years of Canada with a 45 minute musical celebration of the spirit, events and some of the people who shared (accidentally or on purpose) in founding our nation.
