Why was the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812 improtant?

Answer 1

The correct answer is answer 1 ("The northeast territory was placed under American control").

America's victory in the battle of Lake Erie granted the nation a massive strategic advantage for the rest of the war, which is why it's considered a key factor. Being able to control the lake allowed the US to defend Ohio, Pennsylvania and the west of New York against British attacks; as well as securing victories surrounding the Niagara peninsula; and most importantly recover Detroit.
