After fighting the Quasi-War with France over the rights of American sailors and merchants at sea, we were now facing the same issues with the British. This episode traces the events leading up to the War of 1812, sometimes referred to as the Second War of Independence, against the Royal Navy which was in its wartime 1,000-ship prime and tells the story of how we "won" (ok, tied...or actually just didn't completely lose) this Second War for Independence thanks to the United States Navy.
