As a Canadian it's one of the pieces of history that is embedded in my mind. I grew up in a town that was burned down by American troops in the war, and pretty mercilessly at that.
There's even a Wikipedia article about it... which is rare because not much has happened down there except for one of my heroes Rick Danko.
(at the time of the raid, my family's respective sides were still to be in Ayrshire and Ulster for another hundred-and-fifty years or so—no historical connection to the event, or even the war excepting they probably had as much disdain for the British as Americans might have. Go figure.)
