Good that makes two of us who passed, when Vaughn-sensei gave the class the test, I was one of the few that passed. I love history! I sit and watch the history channel all the time. The last time I sat down and watched it I watched a two hour show about the War of 1812. I think that's the most interesting war.

Who is that famous Vaughn-sensei? You can't possibly mean Evil-dono, can you? And I like to watch history channel as well, when I get to. War of 1812? May I ask if it's was the war on American soil or the one that was going on in Europe at that time? Because there was two known wars of 1812, the other one is also known as Napoleonic war or wars. Due to the fact that US were alies of France and Napoleon was on his conquest of Europe at that time, British saw an opportunity to wage war on US at this time. Probably they decided to attack US because Napoleon switched most of his efforts into conquest of Russia at that time (Big mistake on his part in my opinion) To all future conquerors, it is impossible to fight a war on two fronts, so don't even try that! Take out one of your enemy, then go after the other, but never get overconfident and go against two at once. Unless you can use the help of the powerfull ally who will take care of the other enemy of yours. God what had I done? Why exactly am I giving military strategy advices here?

I don't believe Vaughn-sensei goes by a differnet name, but he may. I'm talking about the war in America, sorry it's just simply called the War of 1812 here, also Maidson's War, but we won't get into the politics of that. Honestly Maidson did well with having that war on his head, he was a very smart man (or so they say) and his first lady Dolly Maidson did a very brave thing, she was one of the last out of Washington D.C. before the Capitol was destroyed. Her most famous deed is that she hid George Washington's portrait and saved a valuable piece of American history. Actually ironically enough the War of 1812 in America would never have happened if communications had been faster. Ther Americans were getting mad because the Brittish didn't see them as a country even though we kicked them around the country not 25 years earlier to earn our independence and they were seizing American ships and making the men on those ships fight in the war going on in Europe with Napoleon. The Americans were getting mad at this and told the British to stop it, well they didn't. This is where the irony sets in two days before Madison finally got Congress to declare war on the Brits, Parliment delcared that the British could no longer seize soldiers. By the time this news reached the US it was three weeks into the war and we were already getting our butts handed to us.
