What came from the War of 1812?

When the United States burned down York (Toronto) The British were very angry at the United States. So they went to Washington D.C. and burned down Washington D.C. They also burned the president’s house.

When they were painting the presidents house the wood was black from all the smoke and burnt wood. They used white paint to cover the black wood, so the whole house was white.
