History:
The United States gained military control over Lake Erie following the Battle of Lake Erie on Sept. 10, 1813. Led by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, American naval forces defeated and captured a fleet of British warships, enabling the U.S. to block British supplies to Detroit, and allowed General William Henry Harrison to successfully defeat British and Native American forces at the Thames River the next month.
