You hate the country that founded you...

Still mad about the whole Whitehouse thing in 1814?

Meh.. it just annoys me to see wanton hatred of the British by the Americans, and it pleases me to see them get mad when we point out that the only time they ever took on a major world power in a straight up 1v1 fight their capital was sacked.
But thats all history, we are brother in arms now, America is actually OK.

I'm American, and I'm ok with this.

I wouldn't exactly say a fair 1v1 fight. England's resources were vastly greater than the US's.

it all depends on the american but thats the same with every country
good and bad both go hand and hand

I'm fine with the UK and the US but it's just the fighting, why can't we get along? I don't understand how the world works sometime.

The war began in 1812 when the USA invaded Canada.
The actual burning of the public buildings of Washington took place in 1814, after the defeat of Napoleon when the British had veteran troops to ship over to the USA.

Fuck yeah, Canada eh?

It was British sent over from Europe after the defeat of Napoleon who burnt Washington...

If memory serves me well, I'm pretty sure they were Canadian born British soldiers that burned down the White House. It only makes sense that one would send troops from the closest neighbouring area...

Nope, the Canadians were holding the line preventing the Americans from overrunning Canada (and they did a damn good job and won some outstanding victories as well), but it was a detatchment of British Royal Marines under Major General Ross who burnt Washington.

Actually the American people very much supported the idea of Manifest Destiny.
