бойня у реки Рейзин
Эпизод англо-американской войны 1812-14 [War of 1812]. После боя за г. Френчтаун (ныне г. Монро, шт. Мичиган) 22 января 1813 отряд американцев в количестве около 900 человек под командованием генерала Дж. Винчестера [Winchester, James] был вынужден сдаться в плен объединенным силам англичан и индейцев. Несмотря на обещанную англичанами защиту, раненые американские солдаты были уничтожены индейцами. Это событие всколыхнуло общественное мнение в стране и породило призыв к отмщению: "Помни о реке Рейзин!" ["Remember the River Raisin"].
