Why is it considered the first attack on American soil? And why do Americans think people are lieing when they say the white house was burned down in 1812?

Is a good deal of the American population that ignorant?
Jack F, what are you even talking about? Where in my post was I talking about Canada?
I'm well aware the nation of Canada didn't exist in 1812.
 
Yep.

They also burned the capitol, which at the time housed the Supreme Court and the library of Congress.

Plus Pearl Harbor was American soil, as were (technically) the embassy bombings in Africa and the Middle East (by U.N. accord the grounds of an embassy is regarded as just as much the soil of the country it represents as the capitol of that country would be and for the host country to enter without permission is equal to an invasion).
