(1) The War of 1812, often referred to as 
America’s Second War of Independence, was a sig-
nificant event in the development of the United 
States in that the war helped forge a national iden-
tity for the country, retained and solidified the 
northern border with Canada, and finally settled any 
question of the permanence of American sovereignty. 
(2) In section 603 of division I of the Omnibus 
Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996 
(Public Law 104–333; 110 Stat. 4172), Congress 
expressed its concern that ‘‘the historical integrity of 
many Revolutionary War sites and War of 1812 
sites is at risk’’. 
(3) The River Raisin Battlefield is the site of 
a major engagement of the War of 1812, and the 
battles and subsequent massacre at the River Raisin 
were some of the most significant military events of 
the entire war. 
(4) Out of the nearly 1,000 American Regulars 
and Militia who participated in the battle, only 33 
escaped death or capture, including some 65 de-
fenseless prisoners who were killed or burned alive 
the day after the second battle.

now Monroe, Michigan, the subsequent massacre,

least twice as high per 100,000 residents (10.5 
percent) than the incidence for any other non-

‘‘(3) INJURIES.—With respect to injuries— 
‘‘(A) the mortality rate for Native Hawai-
ians as a result of injuries (32 per 100,000 
residents) is 16 percent higher than the rate for 
the total population of the State (27.5 per 
100,000 residents); 
‘‘(B) 32 percent of all deaths of individuals 
between the ages of 18 and 24 years resulting 
from injuries were Native Hawaiian; and 
‘‘(C) the 2 primary causes of Native Ha-

harm (39 percent). 
‘‘(4) DENTAL HEALTH.—With respect to dental 
health—

significantly higher rates of dental caries and

children in the continental United States and

and the burning of the settlement was described by 
General William Henry Harrison as a ‘‘national ca-
lamity’’, and the outrage stemming from this catas-
trophe aided recruitment efforts for the successful 
American campaign in the Spring of 1813. 
(6) Soldiers passing through the ashes of 
Frenchtown the following summer on march to Can-
ada were so moved by the tragic scene that they 
were spurred on to victory at the Battle of the 
Thames, where they shouted the emotional battle 
cry, ‘‘Remember the Raisin!’’. 
(7) The events at the River Raisin remain a 
significant moment in United States history and the 
battlefield where so many Americans paid the ulti-
mate sacrifice for the defense of the United States 
deserves the highest degree of Federal protection 
and interpretation.
