CANADA kicked the USA's ass (HISTORY LINK)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812
I hate to say it but I was wrong in another thread. Canada DID kick the USA's ass in the War of 1812. The Canadians took over Detroit and tried to invade New Orleans (until they got schooled by Andrew Jackson). The Brits defending Canada marched to Washington DC and burned the White House (which was not originally white, it was painted white to hide burn damage after the Brits torched it). I stand corrected. But Spunky1 is still a pansy :thumbsup |
You're still a fucking attention whore goof.

The Cheseapeake Campaign and the Star-Spangled Banner
The most famous of these destructive raids was the burning of public buildings including the White House in Washington by Sir George Cockburn, who succeeded Warren in April in the naval command, and General Robert Ross. Ross' account reads: Judging it of consequence to complete the destruction of the public buildings with the least possible delay, so that the army might retire without loss of time, the following buildings were set fire to and consumed -- the capitol, including the Senate house and House of Representation, the Arsenal, the Dock-Yard, Treasury, War office, President's Palace, Rope-Walk, and the great bridge across the Potewmac. President James Madison was forced to flee to Virginia and American morale was reduced to an all-time low. The expedition was carried out between August 19 and August 29, 1814, and was well organized and vigorously hahahahahahahad. On the 24th the American militia, who had collected at Bladensburg, Maryland, to protect the capital, fled almost before they were attacked. |

he who controls new orleans controls the Gulf Of mexico and the Mississippi River try to think about that for a second. You folks just didnt plan on Jean Lafitte and the Baratarians taking out most of your attempts to even get into the channel New Orleans is a very valuable target becuase you can split the US with the Mississippi River |

I think we should burn down Canada in retaliation. It's never too late to settle an old score. Who's with me?
