Washington Burns!!!!!!!!!!!
The War of 1812 was a war on land at at Sea. Here in Michigan, we are all pretty much aware of the infamous battle In September 1813, near the infamous summer hot spot called, Put-In-Bay, Ohio where Commodore Perry defeated the British on Lake Erie….But did you know that soon after, in 1814 Washington was Burned?…….
It was done in retaliation for similar treatment of Toronto the year before. It was quite a shock to the Nation because both the White House and the Capital building were set fire to by the British………. Yet to come….One of the most important maritime events that occurred during the war of 1812.
