[quote]I think you have to set that aside the fact that the British basically strutted into our national capital facing little resistance to speak of. They left with the same relative peacefulness, too. Americans were frequently known to run away from the British, sometimes with just a minimum of resistance, right through Washington instead of making an attempt to defend it. New Orleans really didn't do anything except make up for what has to be the most humiliating defeat American arms ever suffered.[/quote]...Until the tide of the war turned when the Americans turned back the British Naval force at Fort Meigs after four days of fighting and numerous British casualties.
The British had thought to stop America's growing expansion westward beyond the Mississippi River but their plans were brutally thwarted when they clashed with Jackson at New Orleans.
