The fort was an important symbol for the Americans who thought it would keep the British out of the Northern Colonies. Ther fort was captured by the British with a few casualties on either side. St Claires retreat from the fort created outrage, it was thought to be shameful and there was fury in the colonies. 6th July 1777
