9 the British Alliance of 1812–14
9 The British Alliance of 1812–14 Chapter Outline This chapter examines the War of 1812 and, in particular, the role that Tecumseh had in this event. By the early 1800s, the intentions of the Americans were clear. The Americans were expanding, and it would be to the west where they would seek land. The War of 1812 can be viewed as a continu- ance of the American War of Independence, as this inconclusive war had left unresolved several im- portant matters, such as those relating to Indigenous Peoples and their lands. In a similar fashion to Obwandiyag, Tecumseh, a part-Shawnee and part-Cree leader, rose to the forefront as an advocate for a pan-Indigenous movement. Like Obwandiyag, Tecumseh was linked to a prophet. Tenskwa- tawa was known as the Shawnee Prophet and happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Tenskwatawa argued that no particular tribe had the right to give up land as its own. Tecumseh had a particular disdain for Americans as both his father and brother were killed in US frontier wars. He chose to side with the British not because he favoured them but rather because he saw them as the lesser of two evils. Tecumseh challenged the cessions of lands that the Americans were obtaining, particularly those claimed in Indiana Territory. Throughout 1812 to 1813, Tecumseh led Indigenous forces to victory af- ter victory over the Americans. Tecumseh eventually met his demise at Moraviantown where, unsup- ported by British troops that had been promised, he was killed in October 1813. The death of Tecum- seh had immediate impacts since no leader could fill his role as a catalyst for a pan-Indigenous move- ment.

Our founder and our four directors (in 94 years) have of the students and scholars who come here for their research. We been dedicated to the proposition that an outstanding research buy from dealers and at auction; we cultivate collectors and other library must expand its holdings to maintain its greatness, and we individuals to think about the Library as a home for their historical have used every means available to pursue interesting primary materials; and we are constantly on watch for anything, from single sources on early America. The curators of our four collecting divi- items to large collections, that we can acquire to help illuminate Fort Lernoult, the linch pin of Detroit’s defenses, was rushed to completion during 1778–1779. It was a simple earthen redoubt with four half-bastions and a ditch surrounded by an abattis (an entanglement of tree branches placed to impede an infantry assault). The “swallow tail” fortification on the north (top) side of the fort was designed but never completed. Fort Lernoult stood at what is today the intersection of Fort and Shelby streets in downtown Detroit. This is a detail of the Smith plan of 1790.

The British, of course, have scant memory of the War of 1812, it being a distant, grubby affair that seemed at the time almost in- significant next to their titanic struggle against Napoleonic France. But the implications on this side of the Atlantic were profound. Roughly 35,000 people would perish through three years of a bit- ter war that pitted brother against brother, cousin versus cousin. The War of 1812 is what ultimately gives both Canada and the United States their sense of identity. Just as there was a part of the planet widely known as “America” and peopled by “Americans” long before the U.S.

“Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

GRICE LOGBOOK A Newsletter of the Grice Marine Laboratory and the Graduate Program in Marine Biology May 2019, Volume 18 New Fish in the Sea Biology Department Welcomes New Marine Faculty Jody Beers is a comparative and environmental physiologist who joined the biology faculty at the Col- lege of Charleston in January 2019. She received a B.S in Biology and Marine Science from East Stroudsburg University, and then went on to earn M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in marine biology from the University of Maine. For her doctoral thesis, Jody studied the cardiovascular physiology of Antarctic fishes, emphasizing the extraordinary traits of the hemoglobinless icefishes (these animals are the only vertebrates that have white blood!). Her passion for environmental physiology really emerged in the latter part of her graduate work when she examined the thermal sensitivity of icefishes to global tem- perature change. Jody continued to pursue her environmental interests in a post-doctoral position at Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University. There, she studied the effects of temperature and dis- solved oxygen content on the function of a number of different marine animals, including kelp forest fishes and rocky intertidal mussels, amongst others. Jody is continuing to examine environmental stressor effects on organismal physiology in her pursuits at CofC. In her spare time, Jody loves doing anything outdoors, particularly hiking, kayaking, or catching a good ball game. Mike Janech is an alumnus of the College’s Graduate Program in Marine Biology (1998) and (re)joined the Department of Biology in 2018 as the SmartState Endowed Chair in Marine Environmental Health.

The 1812 Streets of Cambridgeport
The 1812 Streets of Cambridgeport The Last Battle of the Revolution Less than a quarter of a century after the close of the American Revolution, Great Britain and the United States were again in conflict. Britain and her allies were engaged in a long war with Napoleonic France. The shipping-related industries of the neutral United States benefited hugely, conducting trade with both sides. Hundreds of ships, built in yards on America’s Atlantic coast and manned by American sailors, carried goods, including foodstuffs and raw materials, to Europe and the West Indies. Merchants and farmers alike reaped the profits. In Cambridge, men made plans to profit from this brisk trade. “[T]he soaring hopes of expansionist-minded promoters and speculators in Cambridge were based solidly on the assumption that the economic future of Cambridge rested on its potential as a shipping center.” The very name, Cambridgeport, reflected “the expectation that several miles of waterfront could be developed into a port with an intricate system of canals.” In January 1805, Congress designated Cambridge as a “port of delivery” and “canal dredging began [and] prices of dock lots soared." [1] Judge Francis Dana, a lawyer, diplomat, and Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, was one of the primary investors in the development of Cambridgeport. He and his large family lived in a handsome mansion on what is now Dana Hill. Dana lost heavily when Jefferson declared an embargo in 1807. Britain and France objected to America’s commercial relationship with their respective enemies and took steps to curtail trade with the United States.
