Thanks for leaving a comment and bring...Hi, Keir, <br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment and bringing Sir John MacDonald to the list. He was indeed a fascinating character in the British Empire/Commonwealth of Nations. <br /><br />Yes, it's a pity sometimes when people try to rewrite history to make it seem as if the Battle of Quebec was a draw! I have all the respect in the world for the French (I am part French myself), trying to twist the facts to be ultra-politically correct serves no one. <br /><br />Please feel free to sign up as a follower on this site and leave comments any time you like!<br /><br />God bless,<br />Pearl of TyburnPearl of Tyburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454820098627801613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965849418651632708.post-85702394263378424442014-04-17T11:07:11.912-07:002014-04-17T11:07:11.912-07:00One Scotsman I'd suggest to add to the list is...One Scotsman I'd suggest to add to the list is Glaswegian Sir John A. Macdonald, first Canadian Prime Minister. So many Scotsmen led far-flung colonies and Dominions...<br />I teach history outside Munich and I certainly do my part to teach my students that, as Churchill stressed, "Wolfe won Quebec": http://imperialflags.blogspot.de/Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.com
