1815

With Harrison in position, military drills are increased, causing more tensions with the Canadians and Natives until a skirmish occurs. The event is greatly exaggerated by Harrison in order to create calls for war. However, as a declaration of war must be requested of Congress by both the Chancellor and the King, Augustus II refuses to oblige, sticking with the mentality of the Unionists. The feud creates massive riffs in the entire Federal Government. This sees as much support lost for William H. Crawford as Augustus. Seeing as Augustus does not authorize the mobilization of the regulars, Crawford uses what remains of the state militias to circumvent the King's authority.
  With a militia force, led by the previously pardoned Andrew Jackson, the natives are fought in Huron, with Tecumseh's Prophetstown being razed. Following that, a superior American militia force is completely crushed by a smaller force of Canadian regulars. The Americans are routed, and Canadian forces enter the United States.
