Thank you; Madison was obviously a one-off -- a bit of a loop, that one!

Funny thing about the war of 1812, we had your land right down to the Gulf 
Coast!

Then when we all decided to negotiate peace, we gave you the land back, on 
condition you took our whiny maritime French(the Acadians) with it (now known 
as Cajuns -- how were we to know they'd learn to cook so well?!)

Look up song, "The War of 1812" by The Arrogant Worms for a laugh. . .
