The War of 1812

There were three theaters to the war of 1812 and those were the battle on the sea , battle of new Orleans , and the battle at the border of Canada. The Engagements on Lake Ontario encompass the prolonged naval contest for control of the lake during the War of 1812. Few actions were fought, none of which had decisive results, and the contest essentially became a naval building race, sometimes referred to sarcastically as the "Battle of the Carpenters".
