Everything about The Niagara Campaign totally explained
The
Niagara campaign was the final campaign launched by the
United States to invade
Canada during the
War of 1812. It occurred in 1814.
The
American forces were commanded by
General Jacob Brown and
General Winfield Scott.
The U.S. forces began the campaign with the
Capture of Fort Erie on the
Niagara Peninsula.
Next they decisively defeated the
British at the
Battle of Chippawa.
At the
Battle of Lundy's Lane both sides claimed victory, but because the U.S. forces had suffered so many casualties they pulled back to
Fort Erie.
Following their return to the fort, the British under
Gordon Drummond attempted to capture the fort and the
Siege of Fort Erie followed.
The Americans were able to hold out and the British eventually lifted the siege after suffering severe losses. After a small engagement at
Cook's Mills, American forces commanded by General
George Izard abandoned Fort Erie and returned to the U.S. side.
