Hi Jacob, well I must admit that one got me thinking and I had to do a bit of research on the web before I responded. I had actually forgotten about the War of 1812. The U.S. vs the confederacy was an internal struggle. Not a struggle between two democratic nations. And as you said, Hitler was...well Hitler, not much democracy there after his rise to power. In the war of 1812 Spencer Perceval was the prime minister of Britain and was appointed by King Georgee III, who many believed was mad. He was assasinated in 1812. Lord Liverpool was appointed to replace him. None were democratically elected, especially King George III. So, it looks like my statement still stands up under scrutiny if given a bit of slack... :)
