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.

As an American I enjoy seeing history like this from another perspective.

What a crock. The reason for the War of 1812 was the refusal of the US Gov't to accept the rechartering of the British Crown owned National Bank (1791) - the Second National Bank (1811), which was again rejected by President Andrew Jackson (1831) who's tombstone epitaph reads " I killed the Bank". Jackson was quoted for saying, "You are a den of thieves and vipers, and by God I shall route you out". They killed Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and JFK for the same reason. Always Follow the Money.

It's not well taught in the U.S. guarantee you most Americans don't know that's when the star stangled banner came about and instead think it was the revolutionary War. Most of the 17th and 18th century wars are not taught because of the internal strife that followed, the Civil War period and manifest destiny. It's an American under dog story but they are right about one thing in this, the British sold out what was left of hope for Native Americans. What I don't understand is why the special sympathy for the conquered. It's not typical because history is full of the conquered, the Native Americans conquered each other constantly, it's sad when anyone loses their land but it was normal and people don't have a problem with it elsewhere. Mostly because the records are so long you couldn't possibly name the natives who were conquered. I would wager all of them at one point or another conquered and were conquered.

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.

What a crock. The reason for the War of 1812 was the refusal of the US Gov't to accept the rechartering of the British Crown owned National Bank (1791) - the Second National Bank (1811), which was again rejected by President Andrew Jackson (1831) who's tombstone epitaph reads " I killed the Bank". Jackson was quoted for saying, "You are a den of thieves and vipers, and by God I shall route you out". They killed Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and JFK for the same reason. Always Follow the Money.

Glad you phrased that as is not being learned as opposed as to it not being taught. There is a big difference.

I lived in Maumee Ohio literally across the street (River Road) from Fort Miami's, which overlooked the Maumee River, where the massacre took place (1813). It was an abandoned fort from the early 1790's controlled by the British, (associated with the battle of Fallen Timbers). But in the war of 1812 Fort Meigs was built (Feb,1813) in anticipation of continued British attacks along the Maumee, it was finished by the end of 1813, and not a moment too soon. The fort was impenetrable, as green lumber was used in making it - non-susceptible to fire arrows and it was also built on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River, rapids, the Fort held off a 5-day siege, until reinforcement arrived. A replica fort is there today in now Perrysburg Ohio, lot of history there.

My great great great great grandfather Ichabod Hall born in 1775 New Marlborough Massachusetts moved to Canada in 1795 died in the War of 1812 September 1814 fighting for the Oxford Militia

The War of 1812 was so consequential to the future of Canada. I led a bus tour in 2010, mostly Americans, from Niagara Falls to Quebec City, and so many locations along the route were affected by that war, that most Americans knew nothing about. My 3x great grandfather fought in that war in Niagara as a British regular from Ireland. He returned to Ireland after the war and later learned he was entitled to a land grant for his service. He returned to Canada (with two of his brothers) in 1819 and settled in the military settlement of Richmond, Ontario. It was a settlement for War of 1812 veterans amidst total wilderness. This is now part of the City of Ottawa, capital of Canada. The city was founded in 1826 as a direct consequence of the War of 1812, and my ancestors arrived 7 years before the founding of the city, where I still reside, with many of my relatives. The city was founded as a result of building of the Rideau Canal, to provide a safe marine route between Montreal and Kingston on Lake Ontario. The military canal never served its purpose (thankfully) and is now recreational and a UNESCO world heritage site, a 19th century engineering wonder with the locks still operating manually as originally designed.

Its interesting to hear the perspective of the Canadians on the war of 1812. Thank you for this in-depth piece

I grew up near Baltimore. I could have heard the bombardment of Fort McHenry from my house. A short walk up a nearby hill and I could have seen the bombs bursting in air. By the time I was 14 I knew the story of the Battle of Baltimore, how important it was in restoring moral after the debacle at Washington. The same men who ran from the British at Bladensburg, held the line east of Baltimore. Maybe the War of 1812 is little known, but for me it's an important part of our history.

Thank you for this video.

The Treaty of Ghent might have been signed before the Battle of New Orleans, but it hadn't yet been ratified, so a state of war still existed between Britain and the US when it was fought. The war ended in February 1815, over a month after the battle. Liverpool wrote to Castlereagh to keep up the military pressure till the treaty was ratified because he suspected Madison of planning to sabotage the proceedings (the conflict was widely known in the US by opponents as "Mr Madison's war"). Also, Pakenham had secret orders (which are still extant) to take New Orleans at all costs and to ignore any talk of treaties or armistices. This was actually the smart move on Britain's part because as noted in the video, having New Orleans meant controlling the entire Mississippi river trade, which was the US's commercial aorta. But the long-term strategic aim of taking New Orleans was to nullify the Louisiana Purchase and thus prevent the US from expanding west of the Mississippi (the plan was to return the LA Territory to Spain to restore something of a balance of power on the continent). Since Britain didn't consider Napoleon the legitimate rule of France, they argued that he couldn't have legally sold any French possessions, so in their view, the US had bought stolen goods and they had every right to repossess them. If Britain had won the battle, the history of the US would've played out radically differently.

There is a place too in America where we remember the War of 1812. Baltimore, Maryland. (Fort McHenry)

I watched a CBC documentary back in 2011, and I never knew it was, from my perspective, their version of Independence Day. I was taught US tried annexation but it was fumbled, go-getter hubris.

I pay my respects to Chief Tecumseh every year at his memorial site on the side of the Thames River on Highway 2 (Longwoods Road) just outside of Moraviantown

I saw General Brock's coat that he was wearing when he was shot at a traveling exhibition that was at the Halifax Citadel at the time. It said no pictures... BUT I TOOK ONE ANYWAY! I guess the good General Brock's flippant and brazen attitude jumped right into me.

They only tell half of the story. They ignore the fact that the US militias would not invade Canada after being ordered to. New York alone had a State Militia of over 70,000 men and if they would have invaded Canada with the other State Militias that were ordered to, there would be no Canada today.

Lastly, I have greatly enjoyed this documentary. Documentaries like this one should be used in schools. It is not a biased presentation which is key! Our public education system is now an unmitigated disastet by design so this documentary should be used in private, charter or parochial schools.

My direct lineage fought in the colonial army of the revolution and the war of 1812. Both men survived.

Canadian here. I live across the lake from you. I think the reason Americans don't all know about it is it was a much bigger deal for us than it was for them. It was a relatively short, small-scale war, where their country was not under threat, unlike the civil war, revolutionary war, or world wars. Plus, they probably downplay it since they lost. Had they won, they'd likely teach it in all the schools, and we'd be US citizens! Instead, the status quo remained unchanged after it was over, so no biggy to them.

Arguing for praise (honor) has no respect an it doesn't accept the responsibilities of its wrongs, but the prize, held noble. Gifts never fill the mind but the hands of those who have them out, but are empty handed ( in need of help), like a fool of bribes from a lobbyist of doors under fire in a labyrinth built for criminals.

As a 2nd generation Mick Veteran who grew up with tales about the evil English, I was awed, enlightened, and actually cheering how wise it was for the English to train freed slaves as British Marines. Never heard that before. Nor before have I heard as much about Tecumseh, and understand exactly why General Sherman's father named this warrior so eponymously.

Settlers who had lost loved ones in battles with Tecumseh still called him the finest man they had ever known. A warrior no one one would meet in single combat and hope to survive. A brilliant Warchief. A man of singular kindness and compassion. He did not allow torture. Would not harm old people, children or women. I am a student of History and I have never encountered a man as fine as Tecumseh.

It's told mostly from the perspective of Canada, the Indian natives both Canadian and the Brits! It's an excellent Doc. It also has a good story-line on Tecumseh's Iroquois Confederacy's participation. Didn't expect much and instead got a well rounded story of the war. Had great perspective from all sides of the nationalities involved. Usually you only see or read parts of this war. So having it all put together in such a well rounded way, was a real treat. I highly recommend it 🙂

What a crock. The reason for the War of 1812 was the refusal of the US Gov't to accept the rechartering of the British Crown owned National Bank (1791) - the Second National Bank (1811), which was again rejected by President Andrew Jackson (1831) who's tombstone epitaph reads " I killed the Bank". Jackson was quoted for saying, "You are a den of thieves and vipers, and by God I shall route you out". They killed Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and JFK for the same reason. Always Follow the Money.

Excellent. This small omission: the victorious general at Queenston Heights was Roger Sheaffe. After Brock's foolish death, Sheaffe cautiously waited for forces from nearby forts to arrive, lined them up in a traditional infantry line, and accepted the surrender of the numerically superior but demoralized Americans.

I had too many ancestors in this war to count. But yet I rarely study American history after colonization. My eldest American ancestor provable (9th g-gpa) was in the battle at Mytick Fort, and was a founder of Norwich Ct. Actually through him, my 7th g-gpa married William Bradford's granddaughter ( my 7th ggma) Alice Ripley, daughter of Hannah Bradford. So I go back to at least the Mayflower. I also have a line of Harrtison Ancestors from Connecticut, from which I have 3 ancestors whom were named William Harrison. I'm presently working on about 2,500 relations, so it might take me years to figure out if I'm related to William Henry Harrison. I know that of my paternal and maternal sides, I've had numerous relations in every single war in New England and U.S. history, back to at least Mytick Fort. I'm probably related to MOST families who were in Connecticut by the 1600s.

The problem with history books is that there written by the ones who say they won. Always remember there are 3 sides to every story.

I'm Canadian and I learned about 1812 war. I used to mention that to Americans all the time and none ever heard of it.

Thank you, you taught me much about the War of 1812 my high school and university instructors and professors failed to. My ancestors and relatives fought on both sides of this tragic war- Americans and Canadians, Scottish, English, French, Spanish, Natives, etc. Thank you again. Happy New Year.
