I call bushwah! This united the country firmly, especially after we won at Ft. McHenry and the battle of North Point.

Yes...and New Orleans. BUT, burning DC makes it a draw in SOME peoples’ minds.

Yea, a draw?
They came again to take us over. We’re still here.

I think, though, that it was most definitely unpopular when the young US declared war on Great Britain. For example, even Lt. Colonel Reed, who successfully led the militia against Sir Peter Parker’s troops at Caulk’s Field on 31 AUG 1814, had voted against declaring war while he was a legislator.
