THE OCCUPATION OF MICHIGAN

Authors

Elbridge Colby, U. S. Army Military Intelligence Division, War Department, Washington, D. C.

Abstract

The British military occupation of Michigan during the war of 1812 had no real military importance. The events leading up to it were then discussed, and have since been, more as a matter of the propriety or impropriety of the conduct of General Hull and the ineffectiveness of our national military organization for war. From the standpoint of politics the incident is of slight significance. But from the standpoint of the history of belligerent occupations and military government it illustrates and touches upon several distinctly legal points.
