MARCH 12TH:
The 5th Battalion of Lower Canada Select Embodied Militia is transformed to a light infantry unit known as the Chasseurs Canadiens. (I would imagine a French-Canadian unit.)

Amerivan raids on Missisiquoi Bay, Lower Canada.
MARCH 27TH:
Battle of Horseshoe Bend in Central Alabama. Essentially ended the Creek War.

The HMS Phoebe and HMS Cherub defeated the USS Essex and Essex Junior, off Valparaiso, Chile. The Essex had been very successful as a commerce raider attacking British merchant ships in the South Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
