Excerpt from Photoplay Studies, 1938, Vol. 4: A Magazine Devoted to Photoplay AppreciationThe defeat of Napoleon ultimately, however, left England free to send to America both tr00ps, many of whom had served under Wellington, and her fleet, so long kept busy blockading the ports of France. They planned a triple attack: from Canada, following the route so disastrous to Burgoyne, a blockade of the Atlantic ports and an attack upon Baltimore and Washington, and the capture of New Orleans and the control of the Missis sippi trade.
