The War of 1812

Fort Meigs was built during the early days of the War of 1812. The United States began the conflict by declaring war against England in June 1812 to redress insults suffered on the high seas including the impressment of American sailors; to protect American commerce; and to bring about a solution to diplomatic issues arising from the nation's relation with Great Britain and France. United States military planners felt that Great Britain was vulnerable to an attack against her holdings in North America. American supporters of the war felt that a swift, incisive invasion of Canada would bring England quickly to her knees and the negotiating table.
