Timeline November 1813-- Part 1: Blockade Of Entire U.S. Eastern Seaboard Established

Events happening in November 1813:

***Arrival of British reinforcements, the 70th Regt., at Quebec, Lower Canada.

*** Naval reinforcements allow the British to blockade the entire U.S. eastern seaboard from New England to Florida. New England was not, however, blockaded, partly because of British dependence on trade with the region via New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I think another reason might have been because New England was the weak link in the American effort and perhaps the British were hoping for them to secede.

NOVEMBER 1-2: Skirmish at French Creek, New York. The British Navy from Kingston unsuccessfully attacks vessels bringing Maj. Gen. James Wilkinson's Army down the St. Lawrence River.
