Raid on Port Dover

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Raid_on_Port_Dover an entity of type: Thing

The Raid on Port Dover was an episode during the War of 1812. American troops crossed Lake Erie to capture or destroy stocks of grain and destroy mills at Port Dover, Ontario, which were used to provide flour for British troops stationed on the Niagara Peninsula. At the instigation of Lieutenant Colonel John B. Campbell and without sanction from his superiors or the government of the United States, the Americans also destroyed private houses and other property, prompting British commanders to demand reprisals in other theatres of the war. To some degree, the burning of Washington by the British later in the year was influenced by the American actions at Port Dover. rdf:langString
美军洗劫多佛港(Raid on Port Dover)是1812年战争期间美军越过伊利湖,夺取並摧毁安大略省多佛港的粮食库存,同時還摧毁多佛港的面粉厂,这些面粉厂为驻扎在尼亞加拉半島的英军提供面粉。在没有得到上级或美国政府的批准的情况下,中校唆使士兵摧毁了多佛港當地的私人房屋和其他财产,促使英国方面在其他战场上對美國展開报复。在一定程度上,当年晚些时候發生的华盛顿大火就是英國人對美军洗劫多佛港的報復。 rdf:langString
