Book Overview
On June 18, 1812, President James Madison declared war on Great Britain in response to British attacks on American naval and trade ships.During these attacks, thousands of U.S. sailors were kidnapped and forced to join the British Navy.For two and a half years, fierce battles were fought along the Canadian border, up and down America's eastern coast, and at sea.Despite successfully burning down the White House, in the end Britain--and the rest of the world--had to accept that the Revolutionary War was not just a fluke.Having won independence, not once, but twice, America gained international respect as a nation, and secured its place in the world as a developing world power.
