In Canada, Isaak Brock and half-native leader Tecumseh allied forces. Together they accomplished stunning victories over the Americans.
# They surrounded Fort Detroit with British, French Canadians and native warriors.
# They took Detroit through deception. Brock issued a fake communiqué that got intercepted by the Americans on purpose. It said that Brock only needed 5000 more natives to take Detroit. # A line of men was created coming out of a forest just out of shooting range. The line went along the edge of the forest before going back into the forest. To the soldiers in the fort, it looked like a never-ending line of men. # Although his army outnumbered the Canadians by 1000 soldiers, General Hull was afraid of being massacred by the natives (this often happened to the looser in native wars). # General Hull surrendered almost immediately on August 16. 1812.
# The fort was surrendered without a shot being fired.

What Canadian used scare tactics in the war of 1812?
Actually the British general Sir Isaac Brock used the threat that his native allies could massacre the Americans in battle to scare the Americans into submission at Detroit. It worked perfectly, for two reasons. Brock knew that a wave of anti-native hysteria had swept the US, with many newspapers calling for the outright extermination of the "bloodthirsty savages", and he knew that the American commander at Detroit, General Hull, was particularly afraid of natives. Brock also knew that his attacking force was greatly outnumbered by the American force hunkered down inside the fort, so he devised a scheme. He had only 400 native allies, but he had them arrive within sight of the fort, then double back, out of sight, and "arrive" again....and again...and again...so it looked as if thousands of natives had arrived. Hull panicked, and surrendered his much larger force, his battery of cannon, and Detroit, all without a fight. The American general was later court martialed and sentenced to death, but he had enough political influence to get the sentence commuted. Brock, by the way, while Canadians and natives made up the largest part of his force, was not Canadian but British.
