[edit]

This article was in bad shape so I dramaticly altered it in order to increase it's overall quality. However, I have a question. These were listed in order to show the documentaries inaccuracy:

The British on the Chesapeak were not barbaric plunderers and actually paid the American merchants a fair price for the supplies the British took.

The British didn't destroy all government buildings in Washington: the Patent Office and the official residence of the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps on the grounds of the Washington Navy Yard

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could verfiy these facts and cite their sources. Untill then, I have removed the above statements from the article. Thank you. --Toored 07:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irony about the airdate
