Timeline for March 1814-- Part 2

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.)

MARCH 22ND:

Amerivan raids on Missisiquoi Bay, Lower Canada.

MARCH 27TH:

Battle of Horseshoe Bend in Central Alabama. Essentially ended the Creek War.

MARCH 28TH:

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.
