They wanted Britain to stop kidnapping our sailers and conscripting them into service. They refused to listen to us, so we invaded their territory in Canada. In the end, Britain agreed to leave us alone.

Hurr

No idea. Never done about it in history. All we ever focus on is the roaring 20's and the Great Depression.

I agree, Jackson was a bad man, but alot of what he did helped establish the infrastructure that made america strong, like the banking system. He did a lot of bad, especially to the natives, but that doesn't discount the good he did during his administration.

Exactly this.

Britain steals our Candy.
We kick sand at Britain's little brother.
Britain throws more sand at us.
We tell them to stop.
They give us our candy back.
We leave their little brother alone.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Obviously you wouldn't understand if you've don't live around New Orleans. Dude is a hero there despite what he did. What are we supposed to call the guy who assembled freed slaves and pirates to fight against British elite soldiers who took a major control point in the US and won?

By your logic, we should hate most of the founders because of the bad things they also did.

Hitler had some good ideas..

We print them on our money because they were the people whose ideas founded this country.

And yes, Hitler is recognized for bringing Germany out of its inflation period.

You're saying that because the guy who saved a girl from a burning house kicked a puppy that we either ignore the good deed and focus on the bad or we ignore the bad deed and focus on the good, this is not the case. New Orleans recognizes Jackson as a hero based on his accomplishments in the Battle of New Orleans. This doesn't mean that they glorify his bad deeds or pretend that they never happened.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

A country nearly 30 years old that lasted against a country centuries old. Hm? I would have to say Uganda on this one.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

It's a hard one to discuss because the question is how to you quantify winning. We're so used to winning meaning that there must therefore be a loser so utterly defeated such as -blam!- Germany.

Ultimately though it seems to have spurred Canadian nationalism the most. It's really inconsequential to British history. There is a sort of symbolic blow to the Americans, I think at least, by the burning of the White House.
