Why was the battle of Lake Erie important?
The War of 1812 (in it's early years) was focused on the northern border and was aimed to take Canada.

A U.S. fleet of "Frigates" and "Sloops: (both fairly small ships compared to the ship of the line) laid siege to the fleet, breaking through the lines with the USS Niagara early in the morning.
This victory relinquished several of these ships of the line to the U.S. Navy and secured a route into Canada without Naval interruption. This also split the British supply line.
Nature thought the flat land in that area was too flat, especially to move glaciers back and forth on the land. So over thousands of years, nature sent glaciers down across what is now Canada and now the US. These glaciers would advance...and retreat... over and over during seasons throughout the glacial period of earth. As the glaciers advanced and receded, it broke rocks down, which eventually created five very deep "basins". Each of these basins, as they formed, collected rain water and melted glacial water. Eventually, the glaciers retreated off these lands.
The basins formed by the glaciers created The Great Lakes, and are known as glacial lakes. No one built Lake Erie; nature formed or created it.
No, Lake Erie is a glacial lake. That means over thousands of years, glaciers approached and receded across what is now Canada and now the US. The friction of ice moving across the land carved out 5 basins. At first, the basins were small and filled with rain water and water that melted as the glaciers receded. The basins got bigger and deeper over those thousands of years. We now call those basins The Great Lakes, one of which is Lake Erie.
By the way, a lake can never be a glacier, just as a glacier can never be a lake. But glaciers can carve out deep holes where lakes can form. Lake Erie averages a 62 foot depth, and 210 feet at it's deepest.
