There was a special on it running on loop on PBS all weekend, I caught most of it.

I don't remember the battle name, but they said it was a pretty good example of the entire Canadian campaign - the British commander was lost, and the American commander was firing on his own troops.

They said that impressment pretty much ended because the Brits beat Napoleon. I dunno :shrugs:
