Apart from "English", there's another part you can give her. Canadian as not-American. There's that song, "War of 1812" by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. And you can tell her how Canada was the destination to which slaves had to run away from the USA - and this was from the very start, as George Washington himself after the armistice demanded that the British return his three escaped slaves.

If you can find proven (or at least reasonably suspected) United Empire Loyalist lineage, there's a BIG story to be told there, too.
