The Battle of Fort George demonstrated the challenges faced by the US in the War of 1812, highlighting the need for naval superiority to support ground invasions.
Despite successfully capturing Fort George, the Americans ultimately failed to maintain control over the fort, leading to its abandonment just seven months later.
The performance of the US military was marred by previous failures and unpreparedness, which indicated a broader trend of incompetence that hampered early invasion attempts.
The strategy to secure Great Lakes dominance before moving into Canada was part of a critical shift in how the US aimed to achieve its war objectives.
