Where did Laura secord come from?

Answer 1

She is one of many to represent the Canadian identity. Due to her trek to Beaver Dams to alert the Lieutenant of the impending surprise attack by the Americans, she saved the Lieutenant from possibly being captured by the Americans. It's always good to remember that Canada wouldn't exist had the American invasion succeeded, so every portion of help that could have been gathered to help Canada was important.

Her name still lives on in the Laura Secord Chocolates, something which is an important thing in Canada.

Answer 2

No she was born in Great Barrington, Mass. She didn't come to Canada until 20 years later.
