Dear Journal,
Sadly l had to go to war. This is unexpected considering that I am 55 years old… wow; I didn’t notice how old l was. It feels like just yesterday that I was writing “Dear journal, l had a fun time today. Carter Jones” good times… back to what l really am writing for; l trained with them for a while until they saw my papers and they saw how old l am, and said that l could choose to leave. So I did. But l did learn about some things that they are going to do. One thing is the blockade. As a part of or war strategy, we are using the navy to blockade Europe. This should slow down napoleons war effort. But l think that this will make someone loose a major market for their goods… probably the American economy.
Another thing that they are going to do is have First Nations alliances. After the American Revolution, we encouraged the First Nations to keep a territory to themselves so the Americans can’t expand their territory. Those foolish Americans are accusing us of making the First Nations be hostile towards them- the Americans. They think by doing so we are supporting Tecumseh’s efforts to protect First Nations land.
There is a group called The War Hawks. This group is an American group of politicians. They think that they should expand their borders, and think that we are in their way. They think that they should just take over our territories. But I think not. The war is probably going to start in the next few years.
