    just to clarify, "dinner" was, at the time, the word they used for "lunch" and they commonly would eat later in the afternoon then we do now. So, what we consider "dinner" today, they called "supper"

      Actually dinner was, and still is, defined as the main meal of the day.
      It is just a cultural shift that that meal is now supper (the evening meal) and was the midday meal then. Not just a synonym for lunch. I would guess the cost of lighting to illuminate a large evening meal was part of the reason the midday meal was the main one. Eating a smaller meal wouldn't require the ceremony and associated lighting in the dark.

    Can we talk about "Your excellency, they burned your whole palace" real quick? Already very deep but there's a lot more to it. Washington specifically said that people should call the president "Mr. President" so that he was not treated like royalty in order to help establish the republic. The fact that they called Madison "your excellency" and referred to the White House as a "palace" shows how fed up they are with Madison. He's being childish asking about his library(without asking how his wife was, might I add) and these people were fed up with how self-absorbed he was. So much so, that they compared him to a king, whom they vehemently hated! Truly badass!

      That's because at this time there was still probably a lot of British humour in America (such as sir, i appear to have lost my leg... yes, it seems you have... ya know... stay calm and carry on), and the art of back handed compliments. Now it seems like Americans take a lot of things very literally and have kinda lost the art of being able to read between the lines (over generalisation obviously). Irony doesn't seem to be funny over there. I think in 1812 the rest of the worlds humour hadn't yet moved over to take the monty python vibe out of the culture.

  • @lucykavanagh2240

    I'm surprised nobody mentioned Laura Secord in this. She was a Canadian during 1812 who's the reason the British forces were able to push the American troops out of their territories. Story goes, while she was living in a section of now-Canada that had been recently taken over by America's army, she overheard a bunch of soldiers boasting about a secret upcoming attack against the British army that would gain them the rest of Upper now-Canada (in their defence, the soldiers were drunk and had been in her house at the time, eating her food). Upon hearing this, Secord proceeded to trek through 20 miles of enemy territory (with her cow in some versions), and managed to outrun the American army and warn the British to get their butts into gear for the surprise attack that was coming their way. Because of her, the British were able to prepare their forces and managed to push the Americans out of now-Canada completely. Sources vary, but some people believe that if it was not for her, America might have won 1812, and Canada as a country would not exist today.

    so then, the French servant just left along w other slaves while Jennings had decided to break the frame to save the canvas.

      Except it also sort of isn't, because it'll most likely be more than that, that is just taking into account inflation of currency without taking into account the changing of market prices too. For example exotic foods have become cheaper due to mass transport (cargo ships, planes, trucks) but accommodation has become more expensive due to more people. It's always hard to determine the true value of old money but if $500 was enough to buy a small house it would be worth $200,000 or if it was only enough to rent for a year it may be worth $20,000.
