U.S town appologizes for 1812 attack
Nearly 200 years after americian soilders looted and burned the tiny lake Erie settlement of dover mills during the war of 1812, norfolk county has received an apology from its neighbours to the south.
the tounge in cheek apology was delivered earlier this month at a luncheon held in conjunction with a heritage festival with an 1812 theme in erie,pa.the school children even made cards saying sorry for burning your town there was also a plaque of eternal friendship and a wooden bowl. there was also six erie coffee mugs to make up for the china and silver looted in the 1814 raid.
that give me hope as there has been debate in Australia whether to say sorry even if it is like this surly it's the symbolism behind it.
