Boney made the best of a bad bargin. He could not have defended that land if the US had gone to war for it so simply get the best price for it. Ditto with Spain and Florida in 1812.

As for the impressment issue well that had been ended before the war began besides many Were legitimate deserters who the US happily looked the other way for.

As for burning Washington that was merely payback for all the atrocities of towns and villages you had burned up north.

But for me it dates back longer than what Don said but all the way to the British civil wars but thats by the by.
