Fleet Week NYC 2012 - Hudson River
NYC commemorates the 200 year anniversary of the start of the nearly 3-year War of 1812 between the U.S. and Great Britain. The War of 1812 'was the conflict that saw the torching of the White House, threatened the existence of Canada and inspired the 'Star-Spangled Banner'. Great Britain ceased exporting all of its manufactured goods to the U.S. From a military and political standpoint, the war ended effectively in a draw. The British signed the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium on Dec. 24, 1814, restoring all occupied territories to their respective countries and settling the U.S. and Canadian borders. The U. S. signed the treaty two months later." Woodlawn Cemetery has veterans of the War interred there. www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/bronx-locals-mark-200t...
