1816

The Americans see defeat after defeat in the territory against the Canadians and Natives. Much Michigan and Wisconsin fall under Canadian occupation. This is secretly deliberate, as Augustus is attempting to show the inadequacies of state militias and the leadership of Crawford and his officers against that of his handpicked and federally trained ones. This is to diplomatically see the influence of Crawford to drop significantly and swing it towards the monarchy.
  Congress grows against Crawford, not only for his handling of the war, but for his controversial domestic policies, especially against the natives. A motion is made years into the war for the king to take executive control of the military actions. Augustus appoints Henry Dearborn as Commander, and for a time personally oversees operations. His plan is to bring conflicts to a swift and decisive end, especially as London has gotten word of the conflict.
  With a strong army of regulars, the war swings in America's favor. Tecumseh's army is crushed. The Natives are forced into the terms from the previous proposal, but this time under a governor of America's choosing. Huron is officially incorporated into the Kingdom of America. The American military have retaken territory and begin to occupy Ottawa. Augustus II calls for the immediate surrender of Canadian forces, to which they comply.
