    The other thing about news traveling fast is that the Battle of New Orleans took place after the peace treaty was signed. They hadn't heard the war was over.

    Not entirely true. The New Orleans Saints' coaching staff paid them a bounty so they fought anyway.

    The Brits became clear favorites to win when they signed Tecumseh to a free agent contract.

    At that point, though, the salary cap hampered British efforts.

    Techumseh did hold a special pow-wow with Ye Publick Occurences to announce he was taking his talents to London.

    The downside of this war was we ended up with Ottawa as a capital, instead of the obvious choice Toronto

    Ol' Hickory wouldn't have cared or stopped had he known. He was going to whip their fancy asses in the swamps no matter what.
