July-September, 1812
The War of 1812 spanned the North American continent. While the British blockaded the Atlantic Coast, the American navy won acclaim on the Great Lakes. In the Chesapeake, a British expeditionary forced embarrassed the United States by burning Washington. In the southwest, Andrew Jackson crushed the Creek Nation in the Mississippi territory and then repelled a British assault against New Orleans.
