War of 1812
War of 1812: A History From Beginning to End | Henry Freeman
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
The War of 1812 is often forgotten when we think about the history of the United States. Yet the effects of what seems a minor and insignificant conflict are far-reaching, even to today. The world settled into the roles it would play out for decades, and the boundaries of the United States and Canada would be set for the next two hundred years. Inside you will read about... ? The Beginning of the War ? From Tippecanoe to War Hawks ? The War in the North ? The Battles of the Middle United States: Iowa and Lake Erie ? The Patriot’s War ? Washington in Flames ? A Bit About Pirates ? What is the impact of the War of 1812? And much more! Unlikely heroes would rise, leading to eventual power, while Native Americans would play out their own struggle on a backdrop of bloodshed and intrigue.

A very good book for those of us who aren‘t fans of American history and for those who are just beginning research on this topic.

To Anacreon in Heaven is a much better name than The Star Spangled Banner

I love how Dolley Madison saved history by saving important documents along with the copy of George Washington‘s portrait. Although most people focus on the portrait, I‘m glad she saved the documents and therefore saved early American history.
