The document provides an agenda and background information on the events leading up to the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. It discusses how Britain and France were seizing American merchant ships during their war, impressing American sailors, and supporting Native American tribes who were resisting western expansion by American settlers.

"Death, Hell, or Canada": Dryden and the War of 1812Simon St.Laurent
Two centuries ago, Dryden militia crossed the Niagara River into Canada in one of the early battles of this often forgotten war. Thomas Jefferson was wrong: conquering Canada was more than "a mere matter of marching". The attempt on Queenston failed, though British General Brock died in its defense.
Come learn about the perilous adventures of Dryden men and the state and national political whirlpools that were more hazardous than the Niagara River itself. Meet Governor Daniel Tompkins, namesake of our county, as he fought to keep New York State together in difficult times.
We like to remember "the rockets' red glare", our surprisingly good performance at sea, and Andrew Jackson's victory at New Orleans after the peace treaty was signed. We also need to remember our town's role in the war, even when it didn't go so well.

Francis Scott Key
O say can you see, by the
dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at
the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and
bright stars through the
perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd
were so gallantly streaming?
(defensive barrier)
And the rocket's red glare, the
bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and
the home of the brave?
