The U.S. victory at the Battle of Lake Erie, September 10, 1813, was a huge morale boost for the Americans. This opened up Canada to U.S. attacks. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry also has a famous saying "We have met the enemy, and they are ours."
Don't give up the ship!
On August 24, 1814, the British set the U.S. capital and the White House on fire. They were severely damaged, but Dolly Madison was able to save some historical artifacts, such as Washington´s portrait before she evacuated.
On September 12, 1814, the British attacked Fort Mchenry at Baltimore, Maryland. After 72 hours of bombardment, the Americans raised a flag signifying they hadn't surrendered.
