History - Canada under British Rule (1764-1867)
This excellent short allows teachers to contextualize the Battle of the Châteauguay, but also address certain topics related to this important event in our history, such as U.S. expansionist desires, the influence of the clergy or the story of Laura Secord. The film also provides a good opportunity to suggest that students do in-depth research on the key figure of this battle: Charles-Michel de Salaberry.
