Patriot War
1837–38 raids by U.S.-based militias to assist Upper Canadian rebels
The Patriot War was a conflict along the Canada–United States border in which bands of raiders attacked the British colony of Upper Canada more than a dozen times between December 1837 and December 1838. It was not a conflict between nations; it was a war of ideas fought by like-minded people against British forces, with the British and US governments eventually allying against the Patriots.
