Encyclopedia > Niagara campaign

The Niagara campaign was the final campaign to invade Canada during the War of 1812. 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 teh British at the Battle of Chippewa. At the Battle of Lundy's Lane both sides claimed victory, but because the U.S. had suffered so many casualties they pulled back to Fort Erie. Following thier return to the fort, the British under Gordon Drummond attempted to capture he 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.
