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) ;)

Laura Secord was married to a Loyalist, James Secord. While he was recovering from injuries sustained in the Battle of Niagara, she found out about an impending attack by American forces. She walked 20 miles (32 km) out of American-occupied territory in 1813 to warn Lieutenant James Fitzgibbon, of the British forces about the impending American attack.
