Never had much of a handle on that war beyond that it started over the Brit's impressing American seamen and that they burned the courthouse in Gilford Co., N.C. causing me much inconvenience. Yeah I know they also burned The White House but that wasn't personal as none of my ancestors records were kept there.
This would have been a lot more interesting if the disk had not been damaged and did a lot of skipping. Still, I enjoyed it anyway.
