The Battle of Queenston Heights marked a significant military encounter in the War of 1812, where US forces led by General Van Rensselaer attempted to invade Canada but were repelled by a formidable British and Canadian counterforce, resulting in a costly victory and the death of British General Isaac Brock.
The American invasion was anticipated as an effortless campaign, with many believing that Canadians would heave a sigh of relief and joyfully join their American counterparts, dismissing the realities of British defense and local sentiments.
