Why did General Hull surrender Fort Detroit?
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.
