In August 1814 they burned our Capital building, White House and much of Washington including Books - 3,000 volumes in the Library of Congress. The worst thing was they scared the hell out of Dolly Madison. We could have lost all of those wonderful snack cakes.

[8D] warspite1 Well if he had it would no doubt have been as historically accurate as his other works. Not only would the White House have been saved its fiery denouement, not only would Dolly Madison's snacks have been kept safe within her ample bosom, but Canada would have been invaded and conquered by Abraham Washington or whatever.
