#2 1812- 1815 - 2nd War for Independence

Bit of a stretch, methinks.

#3 I like the sound of this. All I've been hearing lately is how England is going to put our "special relationship" up for review soon. So happy to see cooler heads will (probably) prevail. IMHO the U.S. and England need each other more than ever.

#4 Well said, cheers! Pappy, perhaps Goodluck Smock1954 was stretching in the opposite direction: Britain fighting to free itself from us?

#5 Not back then, tw, though it's generally seemed to be that way since then.

The War of 1812 is often termed "the Second U.S. Revolution" . More accurately, IMNSHO, it was the first war in support of the U.S. national interest.
