Description
If one looks at the War of 1812 between the fledgling United States of America and Great Britain from a purely military standpoint, this war was a disaster for the United States. When the war ended in 1815, the American capital Washington D. C. lay in ruins, the national debt had tripled and territorial gains were marginal. But what this conflict also brought was a new spirit of unity and patriotism among Americans. This cultural history account of the War of 1812 shows how an expensive, actually unproductive war helped create a new nation.
