Prevost served as the senior British military commander
in Upper and Lower Canada during the War of 1812. He took
a cautious approach to military affairs. The two offensives
he led ended unsuccessfully at Sacket’s Harbour
in 1813 and Plattsburg in 1814. He faced a court martial
after the war in relation to the retreat from Plattsburg
but died before any hearing.
