Siege of Fort Vincennes
Belejringen af Fort Vincennes (også kendt som belejringen af Fort Sackville eller slaget ved Vincennes) var et slag i revolutionskrigen ved grænsen i det nuværende Vincennes, Indiana, som blev vundet af en milits under ledelse af den amerikanske kommandant George Rogers Clark over en britisk garnison under ledelse af guvernørløjtnant Henry Hamilton. Omkring halvdelen af Clarks milits var frivillige canadiere, der sympatiserede med den amerikanske sag. Efter en dristig march om vinteren lykkedes det den lille amerikanske styrke at tvinge briterne til at overgive fortet og i en større ramme Illinois' territorium.

The Siege of Fort Vincennes (also known as the Siege of Fort Sackville or the Battle of Vincennes) was a Revolutionary War frontier battle fought in present-day Vincennes, Indiana won by a militia led by American commander George Rogers Clark over a British garrison led by Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton. Roughly half of Clark's militia were Canadien volunteers sympathetic to the American cause. After a daring wintertime march, the small American force was able to force the British to surrender the fort and in a larger frame the Illinois territory.
