The War Of 1812 Explained 

Not bad, Will! Just stumbled across this video. There are a few tweaks and some critical events which were omitted but the War of 1812 is one significantly under studied. These omissions notwithstanding, glad to have watched. Keep it up.

Not a big deal but the photo you installed to show depicting the battle of Detroit was actually depicting the fall of Sir Isaac Brock at the Battle of Queenston Heights. Also the photo you installed showing the battle of Frenchtown was actually the charge of the Kentucky horsemen on the 41st Regiment of Foot extended in light infantry order at the Battle of the Thames. I realize you had to show photos of something but thought I would point it out.

So the over confident fledgling nation of the USA got its butt kicked by the poms. Most in the US find this defeat very hard to swallow even now over 200 years later. A lot of US history books only mention the Battle of New Orleans as the main battle of the 1812 War in which US troops thrashed the Brits. Only problem is the armistice had already been signed and the battle took place after the US admitted defeat. In more detailed histories written by US authors, the US authors talk about the support provided by the native Americans to the Brits suggesting that the Brits wouldn’t have won without native support. US folks need to get over it. The US lost, get over it.

Treh-fall-gerr Teh-cum-sah Pro-vin-shull Cree-ole (or if you prefer, Cree-yole) Nothing about the naval battles on the Great Lakes? You neglected to mention, that the burning of the white house, on *August 24th 1814,* was in retribution for the burning of York(now Toronto), the then capital of Canada (before Ottawa) 16 months earlier, on *April 27th 1813*

Ah William Henry Harrison, the President with the shortest Presidency & the only President to also be the grandpa of another President...

This is a fantastic, wonderfully clear, very engaging overview of this war.

Thank you soo much ,I appreciate your video clip,when i read the the war 1812,nust i feel I'm really on battlefield. Very nicely written and picturized.I liked too much.wish i have more subject from gour side.with respect.🙏🙏🙏❤️

Thank for this short explanation of the war of 1812 .. just finished a book on Lewis and Clark 🇺🇸 May God bless us 🙏🏼

This was incredibly poorly reaserched. You don't even mention Niagara. THE main theater of war. Are you ignoring it because America lost almost every battle there?

Enlightening facts and new information.... however the horrible pronunciation turned me off.

I was listening to this while I work... I stopped in my tracks when I heard that "Crayola farmers" came to the defense of New Orleans. (16:48) ... At least, that's what it sounded like. I quickly figured out it was just a pronunciation of 'Creole' I hadn't heard before

Clemenceau, Lloyd George, Wilson were not at the treaty of Ghent. What’s a another century? 😜

Good information. Nice presentation. But you need to work on your pronunciation. I don't know any creole that's going to appreciate being referred to as Crayola. We all have Google and Wikipedia. There's no legitimate excuse. Just do a bit of pronunciation homework. People get jumpy today. I'm looking out for you. Some idiot will come here and cry racism where it doesn't exist. Don't set yourself up for that.

Thank you! I learned more here, than I did in high school on this war. It was sadly overlooked. Really appreciated 😊

Still, it's definitely never fair at all to take away native indigenous lands at all. We need equality rights for all.

Video Idea: American respond to the Genocide during WW1

the British basically won. I mean the US failed to achieve any of its goals. Also the US lost the Vietnamese war.
