(CNN) It's only natural that the War of 1812 should be on President Donald Trump's mind. It was during that conflict between an infant United States and its former colonial master Great Britain that Francis Scott Key wrote the poem that would become the National Anthem -- on September 13, 1814. Trump loves the National Anthem and has made insisting that people respect it by standing a major focus of his Twitter feed over the past year. Most Americans might also know about the War of 1812 for the Battle of New Orleans , which made a hero of Andrew Jackson, who would become Trump's favorite President. British redcoats burned the White House and other buildings in Washington 200 years ago this month, in the summer of 1814.
