The National Park Service has a new online activity giving you the ability to vote for or against of war. It was set to end June 18th, the day the United States declared war against Britain. Voting started back in May and evidently is still going on as I voted.
Go to www.nps.gov/fomc/castyourvote/index.cfm.
You can hear 8 Americans from the era giving their perspectives and after voting, you can see all sorts of interesting statistical breakdowns.
I voted against war, as there was no way we could match the British if we had their undivided attention.
