CORRECTION: So PragerU has some hot takes about slavery, but one of the videos I show a thumbnail of at the end, their 'was the civil war about slavery' video, is definitely NOT one of them. That video actually explains how slavery was the driving course of the war very well! Silly and stupid mistake to make, on my part. I think I was confusing it with another piece of content but I should have verified it before editing it into the video.

The War of 1812 was a complicated, nuanced affair which can be difficult to really summarize well. It saw a young United States, with a small poorly trained army and a tiny navy, go up against a larger and stronger British Empire, which was itself distracted by fighting practically all of Europe in the Napoleonic Wars. Invasions of Canada, fighting on the frontier, and finally naval invasions on the American East Coast. There's an awful lot to talk about and explain!
So, who better to guide us through a quick little primer on what it was all about, and why it all mattered so much, than a racist television presenter?
