December 1814 not count?
As a "nigglened edge case", it would. If it had happened and was not
part of the War of 1812 which, in a time when communications were far
from instantaneous, dragged on for a bit.
And thanks for illustrating that even a clear point can be ignored by
people fanatically insistent on refuting it.

And now you're treating getting the month wrong as being "fanatically

When did I say getting the month wrong mattered? Why /would/ it
matter? Either this is a "nigglened edge case" independent of the War
of 1812, or it is /part/ of the War of 1812, in which case it is not a
separate example from the War of 1812.
Nice try at a save, though. Just continue on with your fanaticism.
