The battle of Beaver dams followed shortly after the battle of Stoney Creek which the British Won and the Americans were planning a counter attack.

The battle of Beaver dams was important in keeping the Niagara Peninsula as a part of British Territory. Without that we could be living in The United States. There is now monument in Thorold just outside of Niagara Falls.

There were many people involved in this battle. The British had the army of 400 Kahanwake and around 50 British Soldiers.

While the Americans had a total army of 600 soldiers.

Laura Secord

Laura Secord is and will always be a Canadian heroine. Laura heard the American generals plotting an ambush against the British without regarding that Laura could be listening. Then she walked over 30 kilometres to warn British Cheif James Fitzgibbon giving the British a chance to counter plot. This was a such a brave move which we will always remember.

In the end it was the British who won the battle as they planned an ambush on the American forces. The Americans mourned 25 deaths and had around 450 soldiers captured, 50 of which were wounded. But for the British there was only around 10 killed and only 20 wounded. That is a big difference which gave the British a big advantage for further battles and territory.
