Kentucky in the War of 1812
During the War of 1812, Kentucky supplied numerous troops and supplies to the war effort.
Because Kentucky did not have to commit manpower to defending fortifications, most Kentucky troops campaigned actively against the enemy. This led to Kentucky seeing more battle casualties, than all other states combined.〔Kleber p.930〕
==Conflict==
With the impending onset of hostilities, the governor of the Indiana Territory, future United States President William Henry Harrison sought military assistance from neighboring Kentucky. After being appointed brigadier general of the Kentucky militia on August 22, Harrison went to attain the force in order to defend the Indiana territorial government at Vincennes, Indiana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indiana Territory — Timeline )〕 Harrison had resigned his military commission in December 1811, but with the help of Kentucky governor Charles Scott, he was able to recruit Kentucky citizens to help defend Indiana; citizens in Ohio and Indiana had heard of the lack of camp provisions and chose not to be burdened by such hardships.〔〔Mahon pp.63,64〕 As a result, most of Kentucky's militia during the war fought in what was the old Northwest Territory.〔Kleber p.506〕
