War of 1812

I was President during the Second War of independence also known as the War of 1812. I declared War on Great Britain. the bad part, was that, that same day a new British government was repealing the Orders-in-Council. Political criticism haunted me throughout the War. Much of the War of 1812 was based on bloody battles(YUCKY!!!) against the Native American tribes that were hurt by the British, such as the Creek tribe led by the notorious Tecumseh, who was finally defeated by General William Henry Harrison. In 1814 the British took the nation's new capital, torching the White House and other federal buildings :(. They were finally defeated at the battle of New Orleans by General Andrew Jackson's army, many who were volunteers, including free blacks and slaves, and nearly 1,000 French pirates (Argggggg)!!!! The victories against Tecumseh and at New Orleans was great for our nation and I was HAPPY :D!!!
