What were Laura Secord accomplishments?

Laura did not have many "major accomplishments" but she did great things. Scary and terrifying things but good even great things. She was living with her family during the war of 1812. Her house got burned down and taken by the Americans. They found Laura and took her hostage forcing her to be a "maid". One night when she was cleaning the soldiers supper-dishes she heard them plot to attack FitzGibbon (a man in the British army). Laura knew she had to do something so she snuck out and planned to walk all the way to FitzGibbon and tell him the news. Laura walked 32km in the end and had a rough journey. She walked on rough terrain with no shoes, her feet blistered terribly and bleeding. She walked through rivers and streams her hair a mess and her clothes dirty and ripped. She encountered the Iroquois not understanding there language. In the end her hand gestures helped them understand and they were able to show her where FitzGibbon was located. The british forces were then able to prepare themselves. When the Americans showed up the british ewre able to chase them back home. If not for Laura the British would not have had a victory at "The Battle of Beaver Dams". If not for Laura's bravery the Americans would be in charge of Canadians and then we'd all be in grief!(LOL) ;)

What did Laura secord do that is so important to canada?

Laura Secord and her husband were both born in one of the British colonies that rebelled against Britain and formed the United States. The Secords remained loyal to the Crown, however, and moved to Canada. At no time did they ever consider themselves to be "Americans." British subjects they were born, British subjects they lived, and British subjects they died. They could not possibly have been Americans, because there was no such thing as the United States of America when they were born.

Why is Laura secord a hero?

Laura Secord is known for her 20-mile journey on foot to warn the British of an impending attack by American forces in the War of 1812. Although the British commander, James Fitzgibbon, had already heard the same warning from Native scouts Secord has gained renown for her devotion. Stories of her trip, mostly apocryphal, have made their way into Canadian folklore, including the notion that she brought a cow along as an excuse to travel in case stopped by American patrols.
