On this day in 1812, President James Madison signed a declaration of war against Great Britain, the first such action in American history.  And while no territory changed hands has a result of the conflict, it did inspire the lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and and usher in the so-called "Era of Good Feelings" in American political history.
