The Battle of Fort Meigs took place from April to May 1813 during the War of 1812. It was fought between American forces, led by General William Henry Harrison, and British troops, supported by Native American allies under leaders like Tecumseh. The battle aimed to control the strategic fort located in present-day Ohio, which was crucial for supply lines and military operations in the region. The British attempted to besiege the fort, but the American defenders successfully repelled the attacks. The battle marked a significant American victory, bolstering morale and helping to secure the Northwest Territory against British and Native American forces.
