  • Crucial Victory on Lake Champlain – “9/11” 1814 America’S Second War for Independence (1812 – 1815)
    Crucial Victory on Lake Champlain – “9/11” 1814 America’s Second War for Independence (1812 – 1815) The War of 1812, also known as America’s Second War for Independence, was a contest to see if a free, republican form of government could survive. The Irish in America again rallied to the colors – the rapid fortification, by the Irish, of the Battery in New York City being but one example. Thomas Addis Emmet raised the Irish Republican Greens, which participated with the US Army for the duration of the war, including in the 1813 invasion of Canada. [See: Washington’s Irish by Derek Warfield.] England does not recognize expatriation, i.e., that someone born in the United Kingdom could ever renounce being a “British subject” and acquire American (or any other) citizenship. This resulted in the impressment of American merchant seamen into the Royal Navy, one of the causes of the war. During the course of the war it also gave rise to an English threat to hang any captured Irish-born members of the American forces. American General Winfield Scott countered by promising to hang two English prisoners of war for every Irishman hanged. No one was hanged. In essence, England’s war aims in North America during 1812-1815, were similar to those of 1775-1783, but with a strategy based on lessons learned from the former conflict. After the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the Duke of Wellington sent sixteen of his best veteran infantry regiments, plus cavalry and artillery, to North America to attempt the partitioning of the United States by driving down the Champlain and Hudson Valleys, as intended by “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne in 1777, to cut off New England from the rest of the country.

  • Congressional Gold Medals: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress
    Congressional Gold Medals: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress Updated April 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45101 Congressional Gold Medals: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress Summary Senators and Representatives are frequently asked to support or sponsor proposals recognizing historic events and outstanding achievements by individuals or institutions. Among the various forms of recognition that Congress bestows, the Congressional Gold Medal is often considered the most distinguished. Through this venerable tradition—the occasional commissioning of individually struck gold medals in its name—Congress has expressed public gratitude on behalf of the nation for distinguished contributions for more than two centuries. Since 1776, this award, which initially was bestowed on military leaders, has also been given to such diverse individuals as Sir Winston Churchill and Bob Hope, George Washington and Robert Frost, Joe Louis and Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Congressional gold medal legislation generally has a specific format. Once a gold medal is authorized, it follows a specified process for design, minting, and presentation. This process includes consultation and recommendations by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Commission (CCAC) and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), pursuant to any statutory instructions, before the Secretary of the Treasury makes the final decision on a gold medal’s design. Once the medal has been struck, a ceremony will often be scheduled to formally award the medal to the recipient. In recent years, the number of gold medals awarded has increased, and some have expressed interest in examining the gold medal authorization and awarding process. Should Congress want to make such changes, several individual and institutional options might be available.

  • The Battles of Plattsburgh and Lake Champlain (1814)
    The Battles of Plattsburgh and Lake Champlain (1814) In 1814, the British decided on a multi-prong attack on the United States; they intended to take advantage of warships and troop units freed up by the apparent end of the conflict against Napoleon and France. One offensive would seek to revenge the sacking of York, modern day Toronto, by threatening Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland, home base for many American privateers; another offensive would threaten the Gulf Coast, especially Mobile and New Orleans. The third offensive would operate down Lake Champlain to divide New York from Vermont and New England. British military strategists had learned the lesson of Burgoyne’s failed campaign during the American Revolution. In 1777, General John Burgoyne had marched his men down the lakes, largely devoid of naval support and logistics, and eventually found himself cut off around Saratoga; winter’s approach left him few alternatives-- he could not advance against the ever- increasing American army, could not retreat into the harsh winter, and lacked the logistical “tail” to survive in Saratoga. He surrendered, and that surrender secured, outright, French support for the infant United States and victory against Great Britain. General Sir John Prévost intended to improve on Burgoyne’s flawed advance. He would combine a strong naval force built late the previous summer at Ile aux Noix, Quebec, with a strong ground force, to advance down the Richelieu River to Lake Champlain, to batter his way if necessary down the New York side of the lake system, while continuing to secure support from Vermonters whose loyalty to the United States was unclear in this war.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • Remarks at the Rededication of the Thomas Macdonough Memorial On
    Remarks at the Rededication of the Thomas MacDonough Memorial th On the Occasion of the 200 Anniversary of the Battle of Plattsburgh By Steven Engelhart, Executive Director, Adirondack Architectural Heritage Plattsburgh, New York September 12, 2014 I’ve been asked to say a few things about the history of the building this memorial, this monument, which was finished and dedicated in 1926. In 1913 the Plattsburgh Centenary Commission was created for two purposes. The first was to plan and carry out a Battle of Plattsburgh centennial celebration the following year and this it did with great success with help from about $50,000 appropriated by New York State and the federal government. The second purpose was to plan and erect a suitable monument to commemorate the American victory at Plattsburgh. The first step in this process was to choose a suitable site and, very quickly, the Commissioners saw the potential of erecting a monument here, near the mouth of the Saranac River, where the visitor could take in Plattsburgh Bay, the site of MacDonough’s victory, and where, right on this site itself, some of the “sharpest fighting that occurred between land forces” had taken place. Offering this site as a blank canvas, the Commission then invited twenty architects to submit design proposals and, after reviewing them, unanimously selected the plan presented by John Russell Pope from New York City, a plan that included a towering obelisk for the site. You’ll hear more about Pope and his design in a minute. But mind you, there were two city blocks here at the time, on what was then called North River Street, so to build the monument here, the Commission had to condemn and acquire eleven parcels of land, and this they did by about 1916 at a cost of $62,400.

    Preservation, Education, and Commemoration Vol. 52, No. 1 Winter 2012-2013 PULL TOGETHER Newsletter of the Naval Historical Foundation Doing History the Royal Navy Way Interview with former First Sea Lord Adm. Sir Jonathon Band GCB DL—page 3 Unsung American Naval Hero —page 9 Also in this issue: Message From the Chairman, p. 2; Navy Museum News, pp. 15-18; Lady Franklin Bay Relief Expedition, pp. 20–21; Naval History News, pp. 22-24; News From the NHF, pp. 25–31. Message From the Chairman In recent weeks you should have received a letter from our new president, Rear Adm. John Mitchell, detailing many of the accomplishments made by your Naval Historical Foundation (NHF) during 2012. This annual appeal generates needed funds to sustain the day-to-day operations of the NHF. Copy paper, paper clips, pens, sticky notes, and most especially our people are the motor oil that keep the Foundation engine running; past year- end appeals have generated the sums needed to strengthen our fi nancial base. Thus, I hope that you can respond with a check or an online contribution. If you are in government service, also think about us as a designated charity for the Combined Federal Campaign. Your contributions make a big difference in our ability to preserve our naval history, commemorate the accomplishments of our Sailors, and educate Americans about our Navy’s great history and heritage. Education is one of our most important priorities. Current Navy leaders are a key component of the audiences we seek to enlighten. In that regard, we received much positive feedback on our last edition of Pull Together, which opened with a reprint of Dudley Knox’s 1926 “Our Vanishing History and Traditions” article that led to the creation of our organization.

Esling Additional Artworks For more artworks and portraits, visit the “1812: A Nation Emerges” online exhibition at http://npg.si.edu/exhibit/1812/ Background Information for Teachers Information about Naval Battles in the War of 1812 During the War of 1812, Americans were justifiably proud of their frigates’ victories over British warships on the high seas. In these one-on-one contests, the newly designed American ships proved faster, more maneuverable, and more resistant to enemy fire than the British frigates. American officers showed excellent seamanship, and their crews were well trained, usually exceeding their British counterparts in the accuracy of their gunnery. The celebrations of those flamboyant victories, however, distract us from perhaps the more basic and critical realities of the naval aspects of the War of 1812. First, the British possessed a vastly larger navy. In 1812 the Royal Navy had more than 500 ships in service, including 115 ships-of-the-line and 126 frigates.
