i mean, we didn't burn down 10 Downing Street, so

We burned down all of York aka Toronto and the british responded with a “gently caress you” raid on a half-built capital for no strategic gain.

1812 really was a draw, and a dumb war to begin with. The most decisive battle happened after peace was already signed. 1812 the american loss is bad canadian public school education adopted by americans because non-conservatives tend to counter american exceptionalism with “american exceptionalism but exceptionally bad.”

If only we taught history in a way that the moral of the story was "sometimes stupid poo poo happens because nobody knows what they hell they are doing and nobody learns anything" instead of "there are good guys and bad guys and history is a movie script"

“While the war ended in a draw, both sides were happy with the outcome that saw the war ending and indigenous nations are generally seen among historians as the real losers.”

Everyone (who counted as people at the time) got what they wanted, and no, no one but a small faction of hawks wanted the US to annex Canada.

E: starting the war against the world’s leading great power and failing to lose was in fact a pretty important outcome for the US, and meant the end of policies like impressment, the treating of british-born americans as being under British jurisdiction, and the arming of indigenous peoples by the British against the US. The modern narrative is pretty much entirely tied up in the birth of canadian nationalism which is why we’ve all collectively agreed to pretend that canadian militias were doing the brunt of the fighintg and White House burning and not overwhelmingly British regulars.

Honestly the US was in a pretty bad position in 1814 but winning the battles of New Orleans and Baltimore did a lot for national unity. The takeaway for Americans was that we were fully capable of fending off foreign invaders and ushered in a little thing called the Era of Good Feelings because people were good at naming things back then.

For the UK the war was pretty much immediately forgotten because they didn't really give a poo poo about anything except keeping control of Canada and also because the Napoleonic Wars were way more exciting. They also stopped impressing American sailors but AFAIK that was mostly because they stopped needing them.

You only have one? Those things are all over south Georgia (the state; I'm sure Georgia the country has their own lovely industrial death pits)


They're Kaolin mines, and you get a lot of pretty striations from the white clay mixing with the iron oxide in the soil.


The mining companies will do tours of them if you really want to see them.

A lot of people seem to be taking the angle that "calling it an upset is demeaning to her and implies that she didn't deserve the win" and I kinda get where they're coming from. Also the actual article has some lovely takes in it.

Ehh, "deserve" rarely has much to do with who wins an Emmy, and the word "upset" is usually used with that meaning to describe sporting events that are as close to objective in their results as possible, outside of some die hard fans it's pretty rare for people to think the under dog team that managed to score more points than the favorite doesn't "deserve" to win.
