Which battle was also known as the Battle of the River Raisin?

The Battle of Frenchtown was also known as the Battle of the River Raisin.

Frenchtown stood on the River Raisin in Michigan Territory, roughly southwest of Detroit. The battle consisted of engagements on January 18 and 22, 1813, during the War of 1812. American troops first captured the settlement before British and Indigenous forces under Colonel Henry Procter counterattacked.

The American defeat was followed by the killing of wounded prisoners on January 23, an episode remembered as the River Raisin Massacre. “Remember the Raisin!” became a rallying cry for American recruitment, especially in Kentucky, where many of the defeated troops had originated.

Some accounts distinguish the First Battle of the River Raisin on January 18 from the larger second engagement on January 22. Others use “Battle of Frenchtown” or “Battle of the River Raisin” for the whole series of actions. Battle of Brownstown, Maguaga, and Longwoods were separate War of 1812 engagements.
