Hail carronades!

War of 1812

Most underrated war ever....but oh so pivotal

[ConorMacNessa]

Wardaddy, as far as I'm concerned it was a great victory for the young Nation. I have spoken to posters on this forum who disagree with me, but I point to the exploits of the USS Constitution, the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of New Orleans in support of my argument. Before the War, the Brits were impressing American lads into the Royal Navy as though they were British subjects. After the war, that never happened again. Before and during the War, they sought to undo the Revolution, and very nearly succeeded. After the war, there was never another such attempt.

Now our British cousins are our most stalwart allies in the defense of democracy. Despite the antics of the Obama REgime, may it remain forever so!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
