Talk:US History/Jeffersonian Democracy

During the war in 1812 section its said that the British burnt the whitehouse:


 * "The British burnt the American ships in DC, as well as the White House and the Capitol."

During that time wasn't the whitehouse called the 'Presidential Palace'?. I thought I've read that somewhere, but not being sure I haven't changed anything.

As a note, since the War of 1812, the US and the UK were mostly on good terms, even becoming allies on various occasions.* Is this neeed? In style, if not content, it reads like an ironic statement Dainamo 12:52, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC) this makes no sense and is completely useless
