For the British and Canadians, and their First Nation allies, the second year of the War of 1812 brought a few defeats and some notable victories. Americans invaded the Niagara Peninsula and marched on Montréal. The battle successes of Brock, Tecumseh and others in 1812 were in jeopardy. Some communities in southern Ontario that saw fighting the previous year were now witnessing an American occupation of Canadian territory. The challenges of 1813 spawned heroes and heroines who, through cunning and personal acts of bravery, changed the course of the war. Such as Laura Secord and Charles de Salaberry
