Recall: 4 Major Battles of the War of 1812

2. 1. Battle of Lake Erie (1813)
 Naval battle fought in present day Ohio.
 Commanded by Oliver Hazard Perry.
 Perry and his fleet are able to defeat the British fleet.
 United States is able to gain control of Detroit.
 Forces the British to flee into Canada
2. Battle of York (1813)
 Land battle fought in modern day Toronto.
 Americans burned and trashed “everything British”
 Britain upset about this, will look for revenge against the US.
 Though an American victory, it holds no strategic advantage for the
US
3. Battle of Bladensburg (1814)
 Land battle fought in Maryland.
 American troops outnumber British troops (total mismatch, on paper
at least)
 British forces are able to overcome and defeat the Americans.
 The result is an American loss and a “wide open” Washington DC
 British will look to move into Washington as revenge for the Battle of
York
Recall: The British burn Washington DC in 1814 (Dolley Madison) and look to move
to Baltimore but are defeated at Ft. McHenry (F. Scott Key-Star Spangled Banner)
4. Battle of New Orleans (1814/1815)
 Last major battle of the war.
 Lead by General Andrew Jackson (future president)
 British want control of New Orleans (Mississippi River, trade, etc)
 British army consists of soldiers trained specifically for war.
 Jackson’s militia-the complete opposite!
 In essence, Jackson’s militia is every day citizens, farmers, African
Americans.
 On paper, it looks like it will be an easy victory for the British.
 However, Jackson and his US militia kill over 2,000 British in about 25
minutes. US casualties were under 100.
 Victory is seen as the end of the war. However, the war was over in
December 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent (no communication)
