The shoals. And some more ships would sail up the bay under captain peter parker to disrupt communications and further confuse the americans. And hes able hes able to persuade ross and Admiral Cochrane to go along with this. Ross, he takes them ashore, in st. Marys county and ross sees how poor the defenses are. And ross is, you know, an aggressive commander himself. He certainly has proven himself in the european wars, and hes eager to get home. Hes got a wife who is not at all happy hes been sent across the ocean to fight in this new war. So what they agree to is they dont commit to an attack on washington, but they agree that theyll land the forces at benedict, and go try to trap barney and based on the resistance they meet, they can make a decision as to whether or not to continue on to washington. Cockburns plans are zealously endorsed by one of ross officers. This is lieutenant george de lacy evans. This picture was taken much later, during the crimean war, where he commanded a d

Plattsburgh, there is no troops between here and washington, d. C. There is no american the cavalry is not coming. And with plattsburgh gone, they can sweep down the lake, they can go on to lake george, and they can go on to the hudson and split the United States in half. In the meantime, the treaty of gent talks are on. And this is a bargaining chip. If you can take plattsburgh, and you can redraw the northern border of the United States, wherever the british troop lines are at the time, well, these negotiations are going on, thats going to be the new northern border. What they had in mind, they didnt plan to take the United States again. This is not a revolution. What they planned was they wanted a new northern border for the United States. Not the 45th parallel, but the 43rd. They wanted the northern border of massachusetts to be the border of the northern United States. If you take that line, and you run it across the country, take that parallel, you end up in buffalo. That means t
