The greatest canadian is Laura Secord because she stopped the American army from invading the British army and she did it by walking over twenty miles to tell the British army of the invasion if you want to know more how she stopped the American army from an invasion keep on reading so you can find out Laura's name before she got married was Laura Ingersoll.

To me the greatest female canadian is Laura Secord because when the american army prepared a sneak attack on the british army led by lieutenant James FitzGibbon at Beaver Dams if they succeeded the american army would have more power at Niagra Peninsula but Laura Secord over heard and prepared to tell lieutenant FitzGibbon but had to walk twenty miles to the camp when she got there she told the lieutenant about it and gave Laura a drink and a ride home since that she never told anyone what happened.

The historian William Foster Coffin made up a story that when Laura was walking all the way to tell lieutenant about the attack she brought a cow as an excuse to leave and also as visiting a sick relative and traveled through St. David, the historian did that so he could spice up the story he thought was boring. Laura Secord finally got recognition for what she did from Prince of whales Edward VII and sent 100 euros as a reward and it was the only recognition she ever got in her life.

Laura and her husband attended Holy Trinity Church in the Village of Chippawa (now called Niagra Fall) where their grave markers are as well as a few memento's of the family. Laura Secord died in 1868 at the age of 93 She was next to her husband in the Drummond Hill Cemetery in Niagara Falls buried, Laura's name before she got married was Laura Ingersoll Secord. Laura Secord's historical reputation began to rise when someone made a drama about her so everyone wrote about her in student's textbooks.

A small British army and a larger army of Mohawk warriors were then ready for the American attack with the result that almost all of the American soldiers were taken prisoner in the Battle of Beaver Dams and the British army won Laura was originally from America but moved to Canada if she moved back she would of been in trouble because if Americans found out she helped canadians she could get arrested.

And that is why Laura secord is the greatest canadian she helped all of the people in Niagra Peninsulafrom an American invasion.
