On This Day In...
June 18th - Congress declares war on Britain. While most of the war’s activity took place in the north of the country a small naval battle will be fought between three British attack boats and the American schooner Seahorse in the Bay of St. Louis in December of 1814. This altercation delayed the British warships on their journey to New Orleans enough to give Andrew Jackson and his forces time to establish fortifications at the Chalmette Battlefield for the final military action in the War of 1812.
