Queenston Heights National Historic Site of Canada

The Battle of Queenston Heights took place in October of 1812, when an American invasion force was defeated. The battle was instrumental in marshalling public opinion against Americans at the beginning of the War of 1812, in demonstrating the determination of the Crown and the populace to defend British North America, and in contributing to the development of Canadian national consciousness.
