There is a very good program on the History Channel that is shown every now and then. The tornado story is true,the storm put out the fire. British had to pull out.
That was an excellent program. Too many Americans don't know much about the War of 1812.
The History Channel documentary on the War of 1812 was very deeply flawed.
It completely ignored the main theater of fighting in the War, the US-Canadian border.
The main cause of the War was the US desire to conquer Canada; which failed miserably. It wasn't an attempt by the British to reconquer the US.
