I'm still bewildered at how many USian adults don't know that the US tried to invade Canada during the Revolutionary War, and lost, and tried to invade Canada again during the the War of 1812 and lost, or that during the Wo1812, British and Canadian troops actually burned the White House, and that's why it's white - to hide the smoke stains on the marble.
