War of 1812 Fire of Washington Daily Bellringer

War of 1812 Burning of Washington: The British enter the nation's capital and set the city on fire. It seems all is lost, but an improbable event forces the British to withdraw from the city. Questions below:

1. What is the bay near Washington DC that Admiral Cockburn and the British terrorized in 1813?
2. Who led the reconnaissance team that spotted the British marching toward Washington?
3. Why did Dolley Madison stay in the White House to try to save?
4. What caused the British to withdraw from Washington?
5. Some suggested that Madison move the capital but he refused. If you were in charge, where would you move the country's capital and why?
