The British are Coming!
The British are coming! They're marching into the gates of the White House. Dolly Madison and her husband James Madison are running out of the White House with a cart of valuable items. Dolley Madison ran back in the White House while it was on fire and saved the famous George Washington painting from being burned down.

Native Americans
The Americans are mad that the British gave the Indians guns and ammunition and they're going to try to kill us Americans. Tecumseh and his brother Prophet tried to unite the American Indians and if that happens then they could drive all settlers out of the Northwest Territory.
It's The End
The war has ended with the Americans on top. Still 15,000 American soldiers died after this long war. The date today is December 24, 1814. We have defeated the British and we killed 8,600 British soldiers.
Causes and Effects
I can't believe the main cause of why this war started was because America tried to be neutral and they were trading with Britain and France. The British tried to stop us from trading with France and they tried to stop us from trading with The British. One of the major effects to this war was that many Americans felt more confident about their new nation. I have a feeling we are going to when a lot more battles in the future,
