Though the Americans retreated, the battle was a successful delaying action that inflicted heavy casualties on the British, halted their advance, and consequently allowed the defenders at Baltimore to prepare for an attack properly. The British and Americans first met at the Battle of North Point. American forces repulsed sea and land invasions off the busy port city of Baltimore, Maryland, and killed the commander of the invading British forces. The Battle of Baltimore (September 12–15, 1814) was a sea/land battle fought between British and American forces in the War of 1812.
