Canadian here. This was the first and last war our two countries ever fought against each other: since then, we have been brothers and allies for over 200 years, and now co-maintain the longest undefended border in the world! It was the first war we fought as Canadians, not just British or French or Native warriors. We've fought together against aggressors, invaders, terrorists, and undemocratic oppressive regimes, side-by-side (with only two exceptions) ever since. My father was in the Canadian Army during the Cold War; his father was in the U.S. Army during the Great War. Hooray for our NATO, NORAD, and Anglophone (Five-Eyes) military alliances! Canada & America Forever!! 🇨🇦 X 🇺🇸

I'm an American and a Wisconsinite and a history buff. I just want to share my thanks to the people of Canada for this content and everything else. My only memory of Canada is on a week-long fishing trip for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary at Lac Souel (or something to that effect) in Ontario. I was like 11 years old and caught the biggest fish of the entire party that week with a 33 inch Northern Pike. I still have an old top to a pine tree that I found in the water and have used as a walking stick for many years. My first experience with poker...Great memories.

This documentary on 1812 was awesome. I was on the edge of my seat through all of it. Reminded me of my JHS history teacher. MR. Root with the blue suit! What a good man.

I'm 70 y.o. American, always been astute and willing to hear and read, seeking to understand both sides of an argument. This is the first historical record of the subject matter I've been exposed to in my life! Makes me wonder where I've been all my life any way.

Didn't really like history when I was younger but after 50 I just can't get enough. Archeology. Wars Ancient history, Languages etc. Maybe a head injury I suffered at 49 has something to do with this.

I'm from Texas. It's been a long time since I studied American History. I appreciate this very fascinating review of the War of 1812.

There is a plaque on the Dun Building in downtown Buffalo where i used to work which commemorates the location of Buffalo's first schoolhouse which was burned down during the war of 1812. Built in 1895, and at 10 stories, the Dun Building is considered Buffalo's first "skyscraper"

My 4th great grandfather was W H Harrison's staff officer during War of 1812. Col. Robert Thompson Gilmore. After the war he handled much of W H H correspondence, up until elected President.

I live in Windsor Ontario. General Brock is a local hero here as we as Chief Tecumseh. One of our main roads is Tecumseh road and I went to General Brock elementary school. Definitely not forgotten in this neck of the woods.

One of my great grandpas (Wallace) fought in this war. He had to walk back home after surviving the war. While walking home and crossing a bridge he was robbed at gunpoint and shot and killed. Story is that he was buried beside that bridge.

Can you believe, I live about 10 miles from the war of 1812 cemetery outside of Buffalo and have never been there? I will make a point to go there before winter. I want to go to my great grandparent's grave (close to there) anyway.

I lived in Fells Point in Baltimore in the early 90s and the history of that area from that time period was fascinating. Little corner bars that were pubs and meeting places from that time still open. The city was reconstructing the cobblestone streets and people buying and remodeling the homes to the period. I found the history of the area to be very interesting. I would love to go back and see it today, especially after watching this program.
