Step 1: Look at June 1, 1812

At the bottom, there’s a card that says:
> June 1, 1812 — President Monroe declares war

Wait — actually, it was President James Madison who declared war, not Monroe. But since this is what the worksheet says, we’ll use it as written.

So → June 1, 1812 = President Monroe declares war

*(Note: Historically, it was Madison, but for this worksheet, we follow the text provided.)*

Step 2: August 16, 1812

Card says:
> August 16, 1812 — Surrender of Detroit to British and Tecumseh

→ So August 16, 1812 = Surrender of Detroit

---

Step 3: April 27, 1813

Card says:
> April 27, 1813 — Battle of York, American victory

→ So April 27, 1813 = Battle of York

---

Step 4: Sept 11, 1814

Card says:
> Sept. 11, 1814 — Battle of Plattsburg, American victory

→ So Sept 11, 1814 = Battle of Plattsburg

Now let’s do the ones below the line:

Step 5: July 18, 1812

Card says:
> July 18, 1812 — British capture of Fort Michilimackinac

---

Step 6: October 13, 1812

Card says:
> October 13, 1812 — 1st major battle, Queenston, British victory

→ So October 13, 1812 = Battle of Queenston

---

Step 7: August 24, 1814

Card says:
> August 24, 1814 — British march on Washington and burn the US Capitol

→ So August 24, 1814 = Burning of Washington
