The sacking of Washington!

A very disgraceful day for American arms.

A small, very small British force of only about 5,000 was able to march on and seize and burn Washington !

The far more numerous US forces completely failed.

American forces were not well led. And some of that is down to Commander-in-Chief Madison’s direct participation in command.

All in all, a lashup.
