0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Iroquois History and Legends. This is Andrew.
0:03.0	And this is Caleb.
0:05.0	And so, as promised, we're going to start off today discussing our new series on the War of 1812.
0:11.0	Caleb, why don't you start us off by explaining everything there is to know about it?
0:15.0	Okay. First of all, nobody really knows anything about the War of 1812 because it was a really kind of useless thing.

2:02.6	get intermixed into this continental and then eventually World War again.
2:07.6	So we're going to be doing a lot of moving around and explaining what each side is up to.
