During the Battle of Plattsburg on Lake Champlain, a newly built U.S. fleet under Master Commandant Thomas Macdonough destroys a British squadron, forcing the British to abandon their siege of the U.S. fort at Plattsburg and retreat to Canada on foot. The American victory saved New York from possible invasion and helped lead to the conclusion of peace negotiations between Britain and the United States in Ghent, Belgium.

For several years there has been an annual reenactment of the Battle of Plattsburg -- but apparently it is collapsing this year because the new firearms laws in New York include muzzle loaders and do not provide any sort of exemption for historic reenactments.
The governor claims that 'of course the law permits reenactments' but neither her office nor anyone else has been able to find anything in the hastily written law to say that.
