About this episode
In 1837 and 1838 many parts of British Canada were aflame with rebellion. To help quash this rebellion the United States sent support, fighting alongside the British army. However, fighting alongside the Canadian rebels was the Hunters Lodge - a secret society intent on helping the Canadians fight for freedom. This is the story of the Patriot War.
