Haha! Nice. I never knew that and that's probably because I'm an American. The govern has a tendency to enjoy hiding things that make them weaker.

The whole United States school system is designed to make the kids stupider. Many of the kids recognize there is something wrong; they are too smart ot simply accept becoming stupid the the U.S. schools system wants them to be.

I never heard these lies before! Lol what's this all ABOOT?

It's a False Flag! Clearly, anybody can see that the White House is still standing and wasn't burnt down.

Meanwhile, some dude got his head cut off and the guy who did the cutting didn't get a drop of blood on his digs, seen there where he was holding the other guy, also not to seem to have a care in the world in spite of the threats and has now been released.

But in the end US defeated the british and canadian guys and nothing changed(no lands taken or lost etc).

Xerxes also burned Athenas, but the Greeks won.

I read the article is not Canada but the British Troops.

Well to be technical it was what would become Canada, when they were still a British Colony.
Like the Americans were a few decades before that date.

Actually, the way you wrote that sentence promotes that you think the Canadians/British were trying to take American land. In reality, it was the other way around.

The war of 1812 is considered by most to be a "tie" or "un-won" war as there were no benefits for neither the Americans nor the Canadian (British included) side. However, the only "losing" side were the Aboriginals who lost land even though they were promised land by the British government (Who originally wanted to create a large section of land for the aboriginals). When the white flags were put up, both the Americans and British/Canadians agreed to not drop any land of their own and set the current standing boundaries.

However, considering the fact that the American's main goal was to gain more land while the British were dealing with Napoleon, and as such they failed in doing so... by definition of Attack/Defend, the British and Canadians could be considered the victorious of the War of 1812.

Then Canada gained independence and the star spangled banner became the national anthem for the US. The end.
