The Battle of Leecaster or commonly known as the Battle of Freedom Point was the last major battle of the Canadian War, it signified the end of the Republic of Newfoundland's ability to fight the war.
Richard Dickson decided the best place for a battle was between two mountains near Leecaster. When all the armies were mustering, Richard told his Vice Commander "I do not think our country shall survive today's bloodshed, there is little hope for our victory."
