History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

The Society of the War of 1812 in theState of Maryland was organized at Baltimore on September 14, 1814 (two days after theBattle of North Point), byveterans who had defeated Major-GeneralRobert Ross's forces there.[1]

The Society of the War of 1812 in theCommonwealth of Pennsylvania was organized atPhiladelphia on January 9, 1854 (one day after theanniversary of the Battle of New Orleans), by a group of veterans who met ingeneral convention atIndependence Hall, having responded to a call issued byJoel B. Sutherland (himself a veteran and former member ofCongress). Ostensibly called to draft resolutions pertaining to federalbounty landlegislation, they acknowledged the need to organize at the national level for mutual support and to perpetuate the history of theWar of 1812. They met again a year later inWashington, D.C., where they were received by PresidentFranklin Pierce at theWhite House and lobbiedmembers of Congress to secure the federal legislation, which was passed into law as the Bounty Land Act of 1855 on March 3.[2]

Amalgamation

[edit]

On April 14, 1894,[2] the Maryland and the Pennsylvania societies met at Philadelphia to organize a general society. Being a federated society, they opted for the September 14, 1814, establishment date (the date the Maryland Society was first organized).[1] The General Society has since increased to 33 State societies.[2]
