a somewhat interesting footnote to the British sacking Washington D.C.:
In 1814 the British marched up the Potomac unopposed and burned the White House
Less than fifty years later in 1862, the largest Army in US history to that point was in position defending Washington D.C. - from Robert E. Lee and the confederates..
