Title: Americans at Advantage
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: After 1815, the trend to fighting in a more European fashion in North America favoured the United States over Britain. The huge American population could produce vast numbers of militia and volunteers, and these would be most useful in a war fought out in the open.

Title: Cost Overruns at Quebec and Halifax
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: The budgets for the new fortifications built at Quebec, Kingston and Halifax between 1820 and 1848 were huge - both in terms of money and years of labour. Unfortunately, all of these projects took far longer to build and were many times more expensive than was planned.

Title: Fort Chambly
 
Type: Image
Online Reference Books
Description: The third fort on this site, construction began on Fort Chambly in 1709. It was made of stone and looked rather like a castle. This made it different from the low-lying, bastioned fortresses of Europe. The fort was built to be impressive and all but impregnable to Indian enemies and raiding American colonials. The fort wall facing the Richelieu River was pierced for artillery. During the War of 1812, Fort Chambly was the HQ for British and Canadian troops guarding the area south of Montreal against an advance by American armies. The complex fell into ruins during the 19th century. Its walls were stabilized in 1885 when it was made a Canadian government historic park. Recognized as a unique surviving example of military architecture, Fort Chambly was given a major restoration in the 1980s by Parks Canada. This returned the fort to its appearance of the mid-18th century.

Title: Large Garrison Still Needed
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: Defending British North America after the end of the war of 1812 required a large number of British soldiers. Thousands of men were stationed in Upper and Lower Canada, and thousands more in the Maritime colonies.

Title: Limited Military Presence
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: Neither the Hudson's Bay Company nor the North West Company kept a military presence in the Northwest Territories during the early nineteenth century. Although strong stone forts were built, there were no soldiers. Company employees manned the defences as necessary.

Title: The Military Art of the American Northwest
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: War in the Pacific Northwest centred around the canoe, which could be up to 20 metres long. Flotillas of canoes would attack enemy villages, hoping to capture prisoners to keep as slaves. Coastal forts of cedar logs were to be found, used to help control and tax maritime trade.

Title: Formidable Fighters
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: The peoples of the Pacific coast were formidable fighters during the 18th and 19th centuries. Their warriors used bows and javelins, carried clubs and bone-bladed daggers, and could wear wooden armour. They preferred a mass assault, but treachery during 'friendly' meetings were not rare.

Title: Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site of Canada: A Multi-Purpose Struct...
 
Type: Document
Description: The site at Coteau-du-Lac represented a major point of transit for British military logistics efforts. Between 1781 and 1814, the army developed large-scale infrastructures on the site, which testify to the importance the colonial authorities attached to improving and protecting transportation and communications along the route linking Montréal and Kingston.
