This is the story of the greatest battle during Americas second War of Independence. On September 11 1814, the might of the British Empire was defeated by a rag-tag group of American militia, army regulars and a handful of Navel ships. The battle raged on both land and water, establishing the legitimacy of an infant nation, and securing an American victory.
