Edited sentence: At Baltimore, the failure of the Royal Navy to subdue Fort McHenry compelled the British commanders to abandon the attacks.For example, at Plattsburgh, the naval defeat compelled Prevost to turn his army around, against much opposition.However, one invasion attempt at New Orleans had been defeated in a set piece battle between the armies.It is worth noting that Plattsburgh and Baltimore were a result of the failure of the provincial naval forces, not the British land forces.Part of the influence in their decision was also that they did not have adequate numbers of troops to actually take Baltimore.The British Army and Provincial Forces had on the whole, performed very well, repulsing all invasion attempts by the American Forces to invade Canada, most notably at the battles of Queenston, Chateauguay, Crysler's Farm and Lacolle Mills.The British forces had been committing a force to a seemingly successful fourth invasion at Mobile when news of the peace treaty arrived.Therefore, many of the more decisive American victories were a result of the reluctance on the British part, not of the American soldiers themselves.Three invasion attempts of the United States had however been repulsed, one at Plattsburgh, Baltimore and at New Orleans.”The Battle of Horseshoe Bend: Collision of Cultures”, a National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) lesson plan
