finally, the navy is coming. they wanted to stop even earlier but they could not because of the south wins coming up the lake that kept them from sailing south. this is the days of sail. there is no other power. you have to wait until the winds are right. mcdonough does not have the problem. he's waiting. finally, the night of the 10th, they're able to come down the lake, come south towards plattsburgh from canada, the entire fleet. four ships, and a dozen gunboats, 70 men and one canon. those gunboats are supposed to get close to the american fleet and put holes in the sides of the american fleet. you have got them buzzing around. when the british come into the guns can fireitish a mile and a half. royal navy is kept away, if they can sail outside the 500 yards, they can reduce the american fleet to splinters and a matter of one pass. this is what mcdonough's faced with. he's 30 years old and he is the commodore, the commander of the american flag. into thence comes bay, the wind shifts. it's a westerly wind. in

a much bigger player than the navy in the espionage. it was first created under a different name in 1885. it actually was then reorganized accidentally out of existence as a result of the reforms of the war department which were instituted in the early 1900's by the secretary of war. the war department did not have the central intelligence organization as the war loomed. one army officer, ralph van deman, shown here who had experiences in intelligence officers in the philippines war started to agitate for military intelligence to be re-created was in 1917 with him as the head. he served there until 1918 and was replaced by marlborough churchill. a more anglo-saxon name i dare you to find.

the british navy. which established a blockade of the coast of the united states, and that had a devastating impact on the u.s. economy. not only virtually cut off all of our foreign trade, but even much of the coasting trade. and a lot of goods and commodities were moved up and down the coast. it was always easier to move things in those days by water. so it also had, by the way, an impact on american public finance. government didn't have enough money to finance this war. so what happened in november of 1814? the united states government for the only time in our history, since hamilton put our financial house in order, defaulted on the national debt. it could not make the payment on the interest due in new england in cold and silver coins as was required by law. now, one of the ironies of this is our overseas bond holders got paid, because our international banker was the house of bearing in england. and even though it was a british banker, they front us the money to pay our bond holders in europe. a

they woke up when the united states navy won three shattering victories over the royal navy. these successes in the autumn of 1812 made the british government pay attention. here we see a constitution taking guerriere in the wonderful picture which manages to disguise the key fact of the battle. the gerrier only two-thirds of the firepower and two-thirds the crew. if the american captain lost the battle, he would have made a very poor showing indeed. that's not the story that and in the republican newspapers. second battle, macedonia was embarrassing, british captain was blind and a fool. put up a very creditable fight against, once gena far bigger american ship. the two defeats were neither dishonorable or especially disadvantageous. the british quickly got their crew back. the one thing they were shot of was sailors as we know from prewar impressment, american ships won the battles instead of carrying on to destroy british merchant ships had to go home from winning repairs. for the cost of winning some glory, the americans had ruined their mission. as was said, these were s

and we talk about how the navy -- the u.s. navy came out of the war of 1812 was a much more clear picture of what they needed for a national defense, and also the need for the united states to have a standing army, not to rely solely on a militia called up on a time of need. so if the war of 1812 had never happened, can you give us kind of a picture of our own self as we approach the time period where we went to our own civil war? if we had not had these national defense teams in place, maybe how that might have played out? >> well, i try to avoid questions that deal with what didn't happen rather than what did. this is counter-factual history and it's great fun if you're at a war college or staff college. i'm a historian, i prefer to deal with what did happen. here's my take on this. we typically dismiss the war of 1812 as a small and by my ard is it had a prooff and on and lasting legacy. part of that legacy is it stimulated defense enough it needed a defense tans, that after the war was -- committed to maintains a small reg
