My history classes ended in Grade 10 (so it's been a while), but wasn't the War of 1812 between American and British/Canadian Forces? The Americans burned down Yorktown, the Brits/Canadians pushed south to D.C. and burned down the White House?

Your right, turns out my teacher is a moron and wrote her notes wrong

The War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American naval traditions

no, our ships were bigger than the brits by quite a bit, the constitution being the largest. the brits accused us of cheating because of that.
