Battle of the Windmill The Battle of the Windmill was a battle fought in November 1838 in the aftermath of the Upper Canada Rebellion. Loyalist forces of the Upper Canadian government and American troops, aided by the Royal Navy and U.S. Navy, defeated an invasion attempt by Hunter Patriot insurgents based in the United States with the intention of using it as a leap pad for offensives into Canada. Consequently, American and British troops thwarted them while defending Canadian soil and forced them back down south into the United States, where they were captured and arrested by U.S. officials.
