Summary
The Battle of Frenchtown took place during the War of 1812 and its battlefield is the only nationally recognized American battlefield dating to the War of 1812. The greatest victory of the war for Tecumseh's confederation took place here. What happened after the Battle of Frenchtown, amounted to a massacre. In the aftermath, Native Americans were removed from the Northwest Territory. This would be the beginning of decades of Indian Removal. The battlefield is thought to be one of the most haunted locations in Michigan, more than likely because of all this negative spiritual residue. Join us as we explore the battles and hauntings connected to River Raisin National Battlefield Park! The Moment in Oddity features New Year's Eve in Talca, Chile and This Month in History features the opening of Ellis Island Opens. Our location was suggested by Tre Doyle.

| 1:01.9 | title and going, wait, the battle of rum raisin. I mean, I am a little lactose intolerant |
| 1:07.9 | so there could be a bit of a war going on in my gut. But what? Rum raisin. |
| 1:12.1 | All right. So it says river raisin. But I mean, now I go, you, let me just say I am |

| 1:40.7 | dancing around. I have a client who has several of those still in their office. You know, |

| 1:48.8 | younger. Anyway, what we're actually talking about is the river raisin battlefield, which |
| 1:53.9 | was the side of the battle of French town. This was during the war of 1812. And probably |
| 1:58.5 | most of you are going, what battle? Huh? What? Because nobody ever really talks about |
| 2:02.8 | the war of 1812. This battle is very, very significant, especially for Native American |
