War with England was spreading quickly , therefore fear of a British invasion into Ohio from the north created panic in many Ohio citizens. They left their farms along the coast and navigated for Cleveland where there was safety in numbers. Meanwhile deep in Ohio frontier territory, where the more hardy citizens were located, they began to build blockhouses intending to use them as safe houses. These were where local citizens could flee to for protection in the case of a British or Indian attack. These block houses were most usually defended by local militia organized for defense of the community. Canadian citizens were also invading Ohio, but for a different reason. For more information, see: Ohio, War of 1812.
