I'm also Canadian, and I took 2 years of Canadian history to boot, and I also am woefully underinformed in this. Our education system has a lot to answer for. (Though they did, at least, admit how horribly we've treated First Nations people.)

very interesting. Other than being the terminus of the Underground Railroad, I was unaware of really any part we played in the American Civil War...and even that wasn't really covered in high school history!

Note that Canada was still part of Britain prior to 1867.
