in the year of 1814, the United States declared war against the birtish. Even though the U.S didnt have any experience what so ever in fighting in a war while, the british just finished fighting against france. the U.S made the british very mad by burning down their houses. in revenge, the british burned the white house. they took burning torches and threw them through the white house windows. burning it to the ground. this devistated almost every american.
