In the summer of 1812 American forces invade Canada through Detroit, but are soon forced to retreat. Fort Dearborn in Chicago is also captured. Harrison leads the counterattack in the West while Andrew Jackson pursues the tribes of the Southwest. Their victories, however are not enough to win the war In August of 1814, the British march on the city of Washington and burn down the White House in addition to other government buildings. Despite this slap on the face, the Americans do not lose the war, and that is all that is necessary. It was a sideshow for the British who are intent on destroying Napoleon in Europe and a lesson for the U.S. to prepare better for the next war.
