Historical battles
The Burning of USS Philadelphia
Determined to put an end to predatory raids on merchant vessels, the United States has declared war on the Barbary pirates in North Africa. An auspicious start to the conflict quickly turned into disaster and disgrace when the frigate USS Philadelphia was captured intact by Barbary pirates. However, one brave young American lieutenant was unwilling to let the vessel remain in enemy hands. Assembling a group of volunteers, Stephen Decatur set sail to destroy the frigate and salvage the US Navy’s reputation.
Battle of Queenston Heights
At the beginning of the War of 1812, the Americans launched an invasion across the Niagara River into British Canada. To halt this offensive and defend Canada, the British called upon the militias of York and Lincoln as well as their Mohawk, Lenape, and Haudenosaunee allies.
