I gave you some time to work with your four options group debate on the War of 1812, and then we proceeded with the debate. I thought it was a spirited debate, with some really witty points being made. I do really appreciate you staying in a little into the lunch break so we could hear all of the closing remarks. We will look at Andrew Jackson's presidency tomorrow.
