Abstract

This article is devoted to discipline in both the militia and the regular army of the United States during the initial attempts to invade Canada during the War of 1812. The study reveals that the level of subordination was low and that poor planning and command, supply problems and the unpopularity of the war in society led to disciplinary problems. Moreover, the image of a disciplined professional soldier and a militia mob is only partially true at the beginning of the War of 1812.
