The War of 1812: Difference between revisions

* [[Johnny Horton]]'s 1959 song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CnPv_1SVh0 "The Battle of New Orleans"] is a light-hearted account of the titular battle (itself mentioned above in ''Crowning Moment of Awesome''), told from the point of view of an American solider.

 

* The [[Alternate History]] ''[[Decades of Darkness]]'' has this time period as its point of divergence. [[Thomas Jefferson]] dies early in 1809, leading to war tensions ramping up earlier, a "War of 1811", and New England [[Divided States of America|seceding]] as a result, taking New York and New Jersey with it. The war ends with a British/Yankee [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomp victory]] that sees Chicago (sorry, [[Istanbul Not Constantinople|Dearborn]]) becoming Canadian and Michigan becoming New England territory.

* College Humor spoofs the relative obscurity of this war [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2AfQ5pa59A in the mock trailer] of a fictitious ''War Of 1812'' movie, where the characters can't even figure out what the war is being fought over and against whom.
