The Battle of Plattsburgh took place on September 11, 1814 during the War of 1812, on Lake Champlain near Plattsburgh, New York. 14,000 British Myrimidons were defeated by 5,000 Yankee and Green Mountain Boys. It is considered to be the turning point in the War of 1812, with the United States young Navy defeating the most powerful Navy in the World at the Time. From that point on Lieutanat General Sir George Prevost stopped his campaign to cut the United States in half.
