When it comes to historical inaccuracy, this film wrote the book! For a start:
It never mentions that President Madison started the war in the first place,(by attacking, occupying and destroying Toronto) he thought that, with Britain preoccupied with Napoleon, she would be in no position to defend Canada; he also thought that britain would lose since our "best" general, Wellington, was tied up with the Peninsular War in Spain; but he had reckoned without General Isaac Brock, our REAL best general (never mentioned in the film), who not only burned Washington and occupied New York, but captured Detroit! Also, Tecumseh supported Britain, not the US; he even went on fighting after the Brits retreated across the Canadian border! AND, contrary to what Americans think, Britain WON the war; Wellington marched into Paris after Waterloo and forced the US Ambassador (Thomas Jefferson!) to sign a peace treaty (at gunpoint!) promising never to threaten Canada ever again! The only battle the Yanks won was New Orleans, and that was fought AFTER Jefferson had signed the treaty, so there!
