Summary
In the Canadian imagination, the War of 1812 looms large: it was a war in which British and Indian troops prevailed in almost all of the battles, Americans were unable to hold any of the land they fought for, and… Canadians burned down the White House. Competing American claims insist that it was they who were triumphant. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, as revealed in this look at the war's major battles and the dramatic negotiations in Ghent that brought it to an unsatisfactory end for both sides. 2006.
