Summary

What's the most important battle in American history? Gettysburg? D-Day? Saratoga? Nah. It's the Battle of St. Louis, a little-known Revolutionary War battle between St. Louis's drunken, anti-social citizens and a British and Indian force looking to take the Mississippi River for King George. The battle's outcome forever changed the course of history on the western half of the North American continent. For America. For Mexico. For Canada. For Indians. We break down the battle and explain its ramifications.
