Brock, Isaac (1769–1812):
British general who helped stave off an American invasion of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Brock successfully captured Detroit from American forces in August of 1812, but was killed in battle later that year.
Canning, George (1770–1827):
British foreign secretary who proposed what would later become the Monroe Doctrine—a declaration issued by James Monroe, warning European powers to refrain from acquiring new territories in the Americas.
Key, Francis Scott (1779–1843):
American author and lawyer who composed the “Star Spangled Banner”—now the national anthem— purportedly while observing the bombardment of Fort McHenry from the deck of a British ship where he was detained.
Macdonough, Thomas (1783–1825):
American naval officer who secured a decisive victory over a British fleet at the Battle of Plattsburg, halting the British invasion of New York.
Monroe, James (1758–1831):
Revolutionary war soldier, statesman and fifth president of the United States. As president, he supported protective tariffs and a national bank, but maintained a Jeffersonian opposition to federally-funded internal improvements. Though Monroe sought to transcend partisanship, even undertaking a goodwill tour of the states in 1817, his presidency was rocked by bitter partisan and sectional conflicts.
Perry, Oliver Hazard (1785–1819):
American naval officer whose decisive victory over a British fleet on Lake Erie during the War of 1812 reinvigorated American morale and paved the way for General William Henry Harrison’s victory at the Battle of the Thames in 1813.
