"The Battle of Frenchman\u2019s Creek took place during the War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States in the early hours of November 28, 1812, in the Crown Colony of Upper Canada, near the Niagara River. The operation was conceived as a raid to prepare the ground for a larger American invasion. The Americans succeeded in crossing the Niagara and landing at both of their points of attack. They achieved one of their two objectives before withdrawing but the invasion was subsequently called off, rendering useless what had been accomplished. The engagement was named, \u201Cthe Battle of Frenchman\u2019s Creek\u201D by the Canadians, after the location of some of the severest fighting. To contemporary Americans, it was known as, \u201Cthe Affair opposite Black Rock\u201D."@en . . . "Battle of Frenchman\u2019 Creek"@en . . "American victory"@en . . . "Lt. Col.
