Anyway, the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the war takes place next month. I came across this Canadian government website that gives a brief overview of the war and thought some of you might like to give it a glance.
The War of 1812, a historic overview.
p.s. As it's a Canadian government website, the "Heroes of the War" section lists only Canadian heroes. You will have to google for the Americans who distinguished themselves in this conflict.
