This next chapter breaks the time line, but I have the dates here, and I'll keep putting in the dates. When I started this chapter I didn't realize it took place before the failed invasion. Also I think I also over looked that I skipped a full year too. Whoops! Anyway so from now I'm leaving the dates at the top, and I might go back and rearrange the chapter, but it I do that it might no makes sense. So just a heads up, from now on I'll be more careful and that the battles might not be in order. If I skip something I'll add it in as a flash back!
Oh and there is an England P.O.V. In this! Please don't yell at me for any O.O.C there might be! I never write for him and I'm just writing what I'm pretty sure what was going through everyone's mind during this!
K so hear is the story! And to anyone reading Forgotten Again! Dude What's Wrong? I'm working on it but it's taking me a while, and I can't go on the computer as often cause of something my dad heard that was so stretched it made me sound physio. I'll be writing all my stories on my phone notes, but then there is the pain of transferring. Once more school is ending and I'll have to give back my text book! Which means I don't have a reliable *cough*terrible but useful*Cough* source to use, and I can't write while I have it! I'm sorry! That's why I won't be updating for a while
Sorry for mistakes, original chapter wouldn't have been ready by now so I through this one together!
America P.O.V.
August 19, 1812, I was sailing on the USS Constitution in the North Atlantic Ocean, when far in the distance the crew and I saw what looked like sails. My ships Captain, Isaac Hull, ordered the crew to hoist the sails and chase after the ship. He had expected it to be one of the enemy's ship.
An hour had passed by the time we were close enough to see that the ship had been a British warship named Guerriere. By now we were 750 miles away from the coast of Massachusetts and about only 50 yards apart. In other words we were firing at each other point blank rang, and a very for swim away from land. I was confident how-ever that my people and I would not be the ones swimming, we were on the toughest ship we had.
I had turned out to be write. No matter what the cannon balls just kept bouncing of the sides of our ship and plopping into the water like harmless stones being skipped across a lake. Of course my ship had taken damage, a mast had fallen and her sail were filled with holes. But she held strong, not a single hole was put in the walls.
From somewhere on deck a crew man had shouted "Huzza, her sides are made of iron!" That statement, as false as it was because the ship was but made of wood, had stuck and the USS Constitution was nick named Old Ironsides.
Finally Old Ironside was successful in her mission and took down the main and fore masts of the Guerriere. We had won! Not only that, but the USS Constitution was no worst for wear! It was truly an amazing victory!
England P.O.V.
Shit. I had been taking a voyage upon the Guerriere, when the crew and I had stumbled upon the USS Constitution, a ship of America. So naturally we engaged in cannon fight; we are at war here. We both had been firing at each other at a suicide rang! Point blank. The most appalling thing was that no matter where we fired into her sides, the USS Constitution we taking barely any damage!
It had to have been a form of witch craft, for what ship can take a cannon ball to her side without breaking?
Eventually the Guerriere's main and fore sails had fallen, we were sitting ducks waiting for the water to suck us and our ship down to have tea with Davy Jones.
At our masts falling we where forced to surrender. The rest of the crew was taken prisoners, but I manged to excape. Even more annoying was the fact that this pest of a ship had also sunken another one of my war ships named 'Java '.
"Damn America and his ship."
Ok so it seemed a little rushed to me cause my text book had a paragraph on this, and I don't trust Wikiapidea. Also the sites I found were confusing. Plus I wasted a half and hour till I realized the page a was reading was in french so... ya.
Yes I know this is out of time line now, but I'm putting the date at the top so you can read it. Plus I think as long as I include all parts of the battles that need to be together together then I should be fine. If not...I'm talking a bayonet to the head.
Anyway I'll be back on track soon. I just threw myself in a loop trying to get back on schedule. So sorry!
That and I have three stories I need to kick in gear and work on cause they are dying! Anyway I like this story so I'm definitely working hard on this one!
Please review. They give me perpose!
IrisTheFlower – so sorry to worry you. I know it took me forever to update!
I'm glad someone is as interested in The War of 1812 as I am. This and the Civil war are the only two wars that caught my attention enough to write about about. Personally I got tired of the War of 1812 never being written about other then the Invasion of Canada which is always Y.A.O.I. Plus if someone is going to write about the revolutionary war make it good cause it's done so much, and make it from other P.O.V.'s because for American's if was a Revolutionary war. For England it was a Civil war, so he was fighting himself pretty much. And Canada had to be there to pick up the pieces. But I think I'll stick with my interesting little known and little written of wars.
Don't worry I'm so sticking with this story. I love this war and want others to read about what I know and to maybe help them remember facts. I REALLY love writing this! I'm not giving up especially when I got tiny Canada here! He's my buddy! :D
And I know you know where this is going. No spoilers, cause I got a dramatic scene planed! Or a really cheesy drama scene. Which ever.
Speadee – Thank you for reviewing both of my historical stories. I'm glad you like both. :) and don't worry about the placement of not being able to remember the locations of battles, because it took me 15 time to pass my 5th grade state placement test. I remember facts not places, and I know the states and stuff, I just never showed it on a test where we were told "draw the boarders of the states and label them. Yes it's ridiculously hard, and we are not even giving you the outlined states that's why you have to draw them!"
Don't worry about the text books, worry about the blood our school need to clean up for picking the best or worst text books ever. My teacher hates it!
And thanks for the complement on the P.O.V.'s I think it's important to show the battles from all views.
And for the invading part it was intended both ways. You can invade a country multiple was, but I'm not sure if there all official or not.
1. Literally invade army and all/war
2. Have so many emigrants in that country that most of the population is mostly that of the others.
3. (I'm not sure about this one) Some how use 'black mail' such as dept or a document that gives a country some what control over the other. Get into there government or 'mind/heart' It's kinda like mind rape.
4. Go all Hetalia on the country (which obviously only exists in Hetalia.)
The one I was going for was really any of them. Canada wouldn't want his population to be over run by American's so that he would eventually just become apart of America and fade out of existence. Or be 'mind raped/ Blackmailed' by America till all his problems/thoughts involved America. Besides he's part French so we all know that 'the Hetalia vital regions invasion' isn't internally above him, and I also bet that he wouldn't like the idea of that ether.
A crazy Airman – I'm getting to that but like I said earlier it would be really hard to write in the short amount of time I have and the lack of sources. I'm going to study up harder on the War of 1812 so when I come back I'll be ready. Or at least I think I'm writing about what you are talking about, I got a little confused in the review, but yes if I'm right about what you were talking about I am putting that in. It's importaint to know cause it kinda gives some reasons why the burning of D.C. Took place. If I'm wrong...that probably was very random...
However if I do include all that, if might be more Hetaila then facts on facts. More acted out with side notes at the end.
And if you could help out THAT WOULD BE GREAT! My internet hates me and I can only find like 5 pages on this war not matter what I put in! place the 6th one trolled me! It was like:
"The War of 1813 (yes 1813 was in the beginning confusing) took place in 1812 (again?) when Britain and America fought each other. The Canada burned down the capital and the citizens of America were angered and Invaded Canada."
That was literally what the page said and it wasn't wikiapedia or anything like that. I was pretty disturbed after reading that. Funny thing was when I went back a week later to put the link here so everyone reading this could see, I saw it was removed. Which annoyed me even more cause everyone is saying I'm crazy and I'm lying! I was thankful I coped and pasted it before it was taken down as some prof. So ya if you could help that would be great send me a P.M. or something. Thanks! :)
WAY TO LONG A.N.! I'M SORRY PLEASE REVIEW! Cause like I said I have chibi-Canada and it would make us both smile! :) Oh and Kumajirou too!
