Event Education-Lineage Societies of 1812

Lineage Societies of 1812

By Carla Maitland

The War of 1812 was sometimes called “the forgotten war’ because it was often minimized in school history courses. There was a great war going on at the time between Great Britain and France, so the war was frequently lost in world history. Find out how important this war was to the still fairly-young country called the United States of America, and discover how we celebrate it today through our lineage and historical societies. Emphasis will be place on the qualifications, etc. of joining the General Society of the War of 1812 and its female counterpart, the United States Daughters of 1812.
