Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
Good thing we did to, in all reality the war of 1812 was at least as important as the Revolutionary War as it completely established us as an independent and powerful nation.
We tricked the british into burning the white house so we could collect the insurance money and buy lots of guns.

And don't forget, it also saved us from spelling everything half-backwards. If we hadn't won the War of 1812, we'd all be talking about "theatres" and "centres". It also saved us from acute tea-drinking lol.

It was a good way to get some practice in for Napoleon. Our raping and pillaging skills weren't quite up to muster.
By the Burning Of Washington, hadn't the British already driven out the French?
To sum up the para, the general consensus among historians is that it was a draw. A small minority think the British won the war, and an even smaller minority think both of them won the war, strategically speaking.
