White House burned down
Imagine Fox & Friends if this happened today…In August 1814, British troops set fire to the White House— but not before they ate with WH cutlery and ransacked the building. The damage was so severe that no President lived in the White House again until 1817.
US response: Just 6 months later, President James Madison and the US Senate decided to let bygones be bygones– unanimously approving a peace treaty.
Consequence of weakness: Things have been pretty cool with the British ever since.
