Didn't something like that happen around 1812? I seem to recall the White House being burnt down by some Scots........or possible a parcel of Royal Marines. Can't quite recall.

Actually it was the Canadians in 1812 and if i remember correctly they only scorched it. In the Mythology that's why it is white to cover the burns.....
