On September 11, 1814, the Americans defeated the British at the Battle of Plattsburgh during War of 1812. An excerpt from the article:
"On September 11, 1814, at the Battle of Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain in New York, during the War of 1812, an American naval force won a decisive victory against a British fleet. The American victory helped lead to the conclusion of peace negotiations between Britain and the United States in Ghent, Belgium, later that year."

SGT (Join to see) A brother-in-law who lived in Northern Vermont took me to the Commissary in Plattsburgh where he shopped. As we exited, everyone got a pint of Ben & Jerry’s with a plastic spoon to eat it with on the return trip to Highgate Springs, VT.
