Washington DC is the capital city of the US, it does not have a capital city.
After the British had apparently routed US troops in the Washington DC area, they sought to regroup and plan their next attack on US soil. They sailed to their colony of Jamaica and set their aim on the city of New Orleans.As an aside, Napoleon did not want the British to assault New Orleans when they owned it just prior to selling the city and the rest of their Louisiana Territory in 1803. Napoleon knew his fleet could not prevent the British from capturing the city. Therefore, he believed that if the Americans owned it, it was far better than having the British take it.
During the war of 1812 the British were defeated in every attack on the US except in Maine and Washington DC.
