back on topic, there was a fellow named david parish who had some serious pull in the area at the time, and if i understand correctly, was helping to finance the us gov war against upper canada, and the reason why they attacked fort york instead of trying to control the st lawrence valley and the flow of supplies. it seems that parish wouldn't allow this and worked hard to keep the war from these regions as he owned much of the land there. hence the attack at fort york.
