1838 CE
Louis-Joseph Papineau, upon arriving in the United States, had stayed at his friend judge Reuben Hyde Walworth's family house in Saratoga, and has arranged for his wife and his children to join him here.
For some time, he has attempted to gain the support of American President Martin Van Buren, using all the diplomatic influence that he and American supporters can provide.
When the United States declares themselves neutral in the conflict between Britain and its Canadian colonies, he turns to Europe for support.
