The war of 1812 is actually really interesting, it is one of the most important wars to happen. So the war of 1812 is called the forgotten war I’m not really sure why though. So I don’t exactly know why I’m typing an essay on this but what I do know is that we had to study this war and decide if it should be in the history books or not. In my opinion I think the forgotten war should be in the history books because it’s a really interesting war and an important one to. It has a lot of events in it that have happened. Even though I’m not a big fan of history or not good at it I really do think that the forgotten war should be in the history books. It’s really interesting. Oh! It was also one of the biggest wars fought. …show more content…

Now here is some evidence on the 1812 war: The National Anthem was made in it, There was a really bad storm, The war was really long, A lot of stuff happened in it, A big battle happened in New Orleans, The British burnt down the White House, and Francis Scott Key created the National Anthem. Those are the evidence I have for reason one. Reason two is that the National Anthem was created in the forgotten war of 1812. I’m also going to name evidence for the reason to about why it should be in the history books: Francis Scott Key created the National Anthem, Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem after the war, Francis Scott Key got inspiration by seeing the American Flag, British gave up on trying to destroy the fort, Francis Scott Key died on January 11, 1843, He was born on August 1, 1779, and people referred the National Anthem as The Star Spangled Banner.
