"The Battle of Queenston Heights" - Canadian Patriotic Song

"The Battle of Queenston Heights" . The Battle of Queenston Heights was the first major battle in the War of 1812 taking place on October 13th near Queenston, Upper Canada modern-day Ontario. Resulting in a British victory. The battle was fought between United States regulars with the New York militia, led by Major General Stephen Van Rensselaer, and British regulars with the York and Lincoln militia who where supported by Mohawk warriors, led by Major General Isaac Brock. After Brock was killed Major General Roger Hale Sheaffe took over command. The battle was fought as the result of an American attempt to establish a foothold on the Canadian side of the Niagara River before campaigning ended with the onset of winter. The decisive battle was the culmination of a poorly-managed American offensive and may be most historically significant for the loss of British commander Brock. Despite their numerical advantage and the wide dispersal of British forces defending against their invasion attempt, the Americans, who were stationed in Lewiston, New York, were unable to get the bulk of their invasion force across the Niagara River because of the work of British artillery and the reluctance on the part of the undertrained and inexperienced American militia. As a result, British reinforcements arrived, defeated the unsupported American forces, and forced them into retreat or surrender. . Subscribe!!    / @eastprussiaproductions   .
