The attempt of General Robert Ross's British Army of 4,000 men, supported by a ten British Men of War to seize Philadelphia in September 1814. The attempt failed because Fort McHenry opposed a strong and successful resistance to the bombardment of the British vessels and an American Militia Corps of 3,200 men managed to delay the advance of the enemy army, inflicting them heavy losses. Realizing that they were biting something bigger than they could chew, the British gave up and, on October 14,1814 reembarked on their vessels and set sail to Jamaica.
