#OnThisDay In 1813, Buffalo is sieged and burnt down to ashes by British forces from Canada. Known as the Battle of Buffalo or Battle of Black Rock, British forces landed in Black Rock by Amherst Street. The British came to Buffalo for retaliation for the burning down of Newark, Canada (present day Niagara-on-the-Lake). After landing in Black Rock, they marched to the city, bruning every building in thier path down to the ground. Did you know Buffalo had been burnt down to the ground?
