The Niagara Campaign of 1814

In 1814, the myth of a poor U.S. militia would be thoroughly discredited. Through regular drilling and increased discipline, the American army would prove to be a match for the British. This was due to new leaders like Jacob Brown and Winfield Scott who had taken over from the ineffective Revolutionary war-horses. However, now that Britain had defeated Napoleon, large numbers of highly competent reinforcements were arriving from Europe. But the ever cautious George Prevost still couldn't commit to going on the offensive.
