Michigan and the War of 1812

By George P Watt Jr

Some have said that the War of 1812 was the second war for independence. Others have discussed the various regional or international engagements that occurred. This book discusses the Michigan Territory, the Great Lakes and the importance of this region for both the United States of America and Great Britain during the War of 1812. Because waterways were the highways of the sailing age, the Great Lakes offered great military and economic opportunity for those in control. A significant battle during the War of 1812 occurred in Michigan at River Raisin. This battle would become a battle cry for the rest of the war.
