On April 27, 1813, American forces defeated the British at York (present-day Toronto) and captured the capital of Upper Canada – but not before suffering their own losses. History Television’s Explosion 1812 looks at the Battle of York and unearths new evidence around this lesser-known event from the War of 1812.
