During the war, an American flag was made that was so obnoxiously huge, the British would have no trouble seeing it. It was the flag that flew at Fort McHenry, also known as the fifteen-star flag. Google it for more information. This flag was also the one that inspired the national anthem.
What was the war of1812?
The war of 1812 was an American invasion of Canada. There were two main issues: for several years, Britain's Royal Navy had stopped American ships and taken away sailors who had been in the Royal Navy, as well as others they suspected of having been in the Royal Navy. American ships had also been stopped by British and French warships. Britain and France were fighting the 19th century's equivalent of a world war, and both countries were blockading the other, so any 'neutral' ships bringing supplies to the other side were likely to be seized. Americans, especially the politicians known as the War Hawks, were also annoyed that their expansion west was blocked by the native homeland, and more annoyed that the British had a peaceful trading relationship with the natives. They also saw an opportunity to take the territory known as Canada away from Britain, while that country was fighting with a very large war against Napoleon. The War Hawks stampeded President Adams into declaring war in June 1812, and attacking Canada, believing that their overwhelmingly larger numbers would make it, as Thomas Jefferson said, "a mere matter of marching." This was not terribly popular: the seven New England states couldn't believe their ears, and began serious, public discussion about seceding from the Union. Jefferson and company were wrong. The US launched a total of ten invasions forces over the border, with the express intent of forcibly annexing Canada, but in a series of battles -- Queenston Heights, Stoney Creek, Crysler's farm, and Chateauguay, to name a few -- a small number of British regular troops, plus three times as many Canadians and native forces, defeated the invaders and sent them retreating back over the border, and beyond, capturing Fort Detroit, Buffalo, and Fort Dearborn (Chicago). The British, not surprisingly, launched a counter-invasion, and captured Washington, burning down the White House. While the Americans had some successes in naval battles, they completely failed to dislodge the Royal Navy's blockade of American ports, just as New England had predicted, and the blockade devastated the US economy. But the British were tired of war, having just defeated Napoleon, after years of struggle, and they agreed to talks. Despite holding large amounts of American territory. and despite the sudden availability of close to a hundred thousand battle-hardened troops (compared to the 5200 who had turned back the American invasion) Britain agreed to restore the old borders, rejecting the obvious opportunity to reverse the revolution of 35 years before. Puzzlingly, the war was later redubbed in some quarters as "the Second American Revolution", and called "an attempt by the British to take over the United States". Some American accounts still leave out the fact of who began the war. After the treaty was signed, the Americans won a battle in New Orleans, where news of the peace hadn't arrived. That was followed by a British victory, the capture of Fort Bowyer.
