While the end of the year is approaching, it does not spell a lull in the defining conflicts of America’s early history. From December 11-15, 1862, the largest and deadliest battle of the Civil War raged during the Battle of Fredericksburg. In retaliation of the Tea Act of 1773, the Sons of Liberty boarded ships docked in Griffin’s Wharf on December 16, 1773, threw tea into the harbor, and increased tension that would explode into the American Revolution. While the American Revolution was brewing, the War of 1812 was coming to a close when the Treaty of Ghent was signed in Ghent, United Netherlands, current-day Belgium, on December 24, 1814. Learn more about the battles and historical events that occurred in December below!
