OTOH-—
Letting the Canucks burn Washington to the ground again and having the Yanks raze the GTA again basically seems a win-win.
After refreshing my dim memory of the War of 1812, it looks as though Gen. Jackson took advantage of the Battle of New Orleans being close to Florida and decided to beat up the Spaniards until they decided they’d sell the Sunshine State, so it was a double victory for the US.
When was the first time Canucks burned Washington to the ground?
