| Summary: |
For two and a half years, Americans fought Against the British, Canadian colonists, and native nations. The War of 1812 is worth remembering--a struggle that threatened the existence of Canada, then divided the United States so deeply that the nation almost broke apart. Some of its battles and heroes became legendary, yet its blunders and cowards were just as prominent. With re-enactments, evocative animation and the incisive commentary of key experts, this program presents the conflict that forged the destiny of a continent. |
