The Forgotten War of 1812

With the one-year anniversary of the January 6th attack, we thought a fitting way to remember that day would be to discuss the only other time the US Capitol has been attacked. The War of 1812 is under-studied and forgotten but important in the development of our nation.

Join Rebecca and Becca as they discuss America's most forgotten war and its effects on DC.
