This Independence Day let’s take a look back at the War of 1812. That was the rematch to our war of independence from the British. They were a tad miffed and wanted the U.S. back under English rule. The Brits weren’t messing around either. They were playing for keeps. But one dude rallied and held fast in one of the most American battles in our nation’s history. Andrew Jackson. The war of 1812 gave us a nation anthem but let’s not forget Andrew and the boys. They were incredible.
