1814 Americans Anglo Attack Attacking Battalion Charge Order Orders Scott Victory Winfield Mcneil
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the pivotal moment at the Battle of Chippawa on July 5, 1814, during the Anglo-American War. In the foreground, General Winfield Scott of the United States Army is seen giving the order for McNeil's Battalion to charge against the British lines. The determination and focus on Scott's face are palpable as he rallies his troops, who respond with unwavering resolve. The American flag held aloft by a soldier adds a sense of national pride and purpose to the scene. The Battle of Chippawa, fought on the Niagara Frontier in present-day Ontario, Canada, was a significant victory for the Americans during the War of 1812. The battle marked the end of the British offensive in the Niagara region and resulted in the capture of Fort Erie by the Americans later that month. McNeil's Battalion, a unit of the United States Army, played a crucial role in the American victory at Chippawa. The battalion, led by Lieutenant Colonel James McNeil, was part of General Scott's brigade and was instrumental in turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Americans. The charge ordered by Scott in this print was a decisive moment in the battle, leading to the dislodgment of the British forces and securing the American position. This historical print is a testament to the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers involved in the Battle of Chippawa and the pivotal role that General Winfield Scott played in securing a victory for the Americans during the War of 1812.
