Why One Michigan City Flies Kentucky Flags-- Part 3:


"Remember the River Raisin" and "Remember the Raisin" became battle cries of American troops in subsequent battles.  The British held dominance along the Michigan Frontier until some months later the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of the Thames turned the tide in American favor.

The Kentucky state flag flies at several locations near the River Raisin National Battlefield which is operated by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

This is in honor of those Kentuckians who came to defend and those who died.
