great video. there are a few things you missed as others have pointed out, but otherwise, it's good. love how you used different voices and had the music in the background. that tends to keep people interested, even if they dont like history. lol i have a project due tomorrow that needs to include a video, so i hope you dont mind if i use this. thanks~!
Americans required the conquest of all British North America.This's the real reason for 1812 war.They took advantages of naval & commercial disputes with Great Britain,as the perfect occasion for Canada's invasion.However,the american territory was redoubled in 1803.Napoleon took the money and destroyed France & Europe, and US became bigger,the only one true winner of the napoleonic period.
@nevermore21R I wouldn't call them the only "true winner". Their territory doubled through the Louisiana Purchase yes, but 1815 - 1914 was a period known as Pax Britannica. When the British Empire effectively ruled the seas and reached a peak of territorial and economic dominance never seen in history. It wasn't until the World Wars of the 20th Century that this position changed.
@nevermore21R Britain was the biggest winner of the Napoleonic period. We emerged from those wars as the world's only industrial economy, the world's biggest economy, the world's biggest military, the world's biggest navy, and as the only super power of the world. America was not even important.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent. Today we remember. Solemn Greetings on this Remembrance Veterans Poppy Armistice Day to all nations.
And for the for Americans/Canadians Please accept my salute on the anniversary of the Battle of Crysler's Farm Nov 11 1813.
it is stupid to say that canada won this war because they stopped the us invasion, the usa stopped the british invasion so why we can say that the usa won too?
Canadian could be proud to had well fought in this war but they don't won they were british citizen and the last us invasion in niagara was more bloody for the british than the usa. British loose all the battles on the great lakes so maybe we can say us sailor won the war of 1812.
@spad57 The British didn't invade. They attacked burned & left to attack & burn the next place. An Invasion occupies, fortifies and keeps what they take. Hell in places they never left their ships just bombarded American positions from sea.
If the British had invaded they would have needed 100X the troops they sent & even then a proper insurgancy as used during the Revolutionary war would probably have been enough to force them out. It was usally a mistake to Fight British head on.
@Eddythebeast666 yes it is true but in fact british force invade a part of usa in new york state north of the usa and some parts in michigan and the town of mobile in louisiana. They had to left all this place according the terms of the treaty of Ghent.
@spad57 Well yes the war was over. The American invaders had been driven out & severly punished for having attacked in the first place. Trying to spin this in to a war of British agression when Briton was so occupied with Napolion in Europe is what is causing all the disagreements. Even a causual look at the big picture makes such claims sound ridiculus.
@Eddythebeast666 well the US leaders thought that the royal navy impressment need a military response so in their mind it was the british who agressed first american citizen.
@spad57 Yes the US leaders also blaimed Briton for Natives fighting back as the USA tried to take native lands. Both the Native attacks & Impressment/harasment of US ships at sea where the result of US actions. Namely the USA's taking control of French new world holdings & giving aid to Napolion. Britons actions were more then justified.
@Eddythebeast666 hum royal navy impressment exist only because the british fleet warsin great needing of seamen to make wars against france that's all. Of course native tribes defend their home but the US saw the hand of the british behind the natives ever if it was true or not. Sadly for them, the natives were the true losers of this war
@spad57 I agree with that but Briton didn't Single the USA out every nation that was aiding France was being harased. The British did try to get some consesions on behalf of Natives during peace negotiations but didn't try very hard. There was still to much unrest in Europe & they didn't really care beyond a slight feeling of indebtedness for tha help Natives gave in pushing back US forces.
@Eddythebeast666 sure but USA need commercial trade agrement and the french and british blokade were unacceptable. USA lost all it's european market. Napoleon made promised some futur commercial link with the usa, so with the embargo act of Madison the USA prefer to follow the french commercial proposal and stop all trading road to england. French navy never attack us ship during this time so the chesapeack affair was the last nail on the peace coffin.
@spad57 The American economy was so weak at this time, your exports to European markes meant nothing anyway. No, this was not about trade. Your biggest export market was Mexico. This was a concentrated attempt to steal Canada from Britain at a time when Britain was busy fighting a much worse threat. And it backfired spectacularly, with a humiliating invasion of Washington DC and Canadian safety ever since.
@TheLiberalKnight of course it was not only trade, it was liberty on sea, The usa don't want to see english helping indian tribes to fight against american settlers, they wanted to decrease the british influence in north america. Canada was the only way for the small american army to fight british power.
Why does USA hate us so bad any way? I mean so wat if we have many friends and u don't!! It's not really our fault that other countrys hate u. I mean I would love to have a friend from the U.S. ( we actually burnd down the white house!! There that shows we don't take shit from anywon!!!) Also I think that if they did that now we would wait at the boarder with our hockey sticks and beat them with it. Then the rest will be taken out by our allies or freez during the winter!!! Lol
in my ap history book it says it was a tie since nobody gained or lost anything, but i'll admit we got ass raped by uk, but so did those thievin vietcong. i would call it a minor dispute of 1812. muskets r gay
Im American & I feel bad that we had to lie about our civilians being recruited into the Awesome British Navy. Just like in 9/11 we wanted to fight someone so we pointed on a map, (@ that time there were only 2 countries on the globe) & Said they took something, lets say 10 people, Then We Sunk our own ships w/ crew. When the Indian murdering tyrant, George Washington's finger hit england we new who to fight. But we couldn't get there, so we marched to Canada, & our armies fell to melitia men.
it was going to be named the "kingdom of canada"....you americans probably couldn't even find canada on a world map and you claim you know our history....you know shit about us.....
Canada was irrelevant. WWII would have turned out the same if you didn't fight. The outcome was certain as soon as the US got involved. Otherwise, Germany would have beat the weak, retreating, gay ass Commonwealth. You fags even attempted to invade Dieppe in France and got your ass handed to you. No way D-Day would have happened without the US.
Americans don't seem to realize that those Biritish people were the ancestors of the people today. So yes, they did invade Canada, bunch of greedy bastards, Say whatever you want, history is history, and we kicked your asses out. So stay out.
What a crappy video(the person talking in it sounds like they've been reading to many cannadian textbooks...). The Americans didn't leave Cannada because they were broken and beaten! It was because the Natives cut there supply line to the point where they couldn't keep driving the war effort.
This video is crap! The Americans came up and kicked Lower Canada's butt and went home. They were not driven back to the US. And Canada wasn't an independent nation until 1867. Even after that year, Canadians were not Canadians, they were still British subjects. And it was the British who burned the White House, not Canadians. I'm a Canadian and I have read many sources on the War of 1812. The War ended in a truce, with neither side claiming victory.
Terrible and biased video. He "forgot" to mention the burning/sacking of York and the Battle of New Orleans. The naval victories were not "a bit of luck", but a sign of British arrogance. Their commanders told the naval captains that it was OK to attack ships that were better because they thought that they were that great.

Just 25 hours of the British navy using their
As for the blockade, of course we did not "break" a blockade by the most powerful navy in the world, however we did run the blockade regularly, most of the naval battles of the war had been American victories given our tactics of not engaging in large fleet actions (Put-N-Bay aside) but instead concentrated on ship to ship battles where our frigates regularly defeated Britain's. Our privateer attacks also decimated British shipping and drove up British shipping insurance costs significantly.
Reply to Robertz1986 : The British invasion of the United States in the summer of 1812 was NOT "repulsed on all fronts." When the shooting finally stopped in February, 1815, the British controlled the District of Maine; Fort Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin, which controlled the fur trade on the upper Mississippi, Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon; Cumverland Island, Fort Point Peter, town of St. Mary's in Georgia and Fort Bowyer - Mobile Bay, Alabama.
Maine was not even a state yet, Wisconsin and Oregon were really fringe territories/claims of the United States that couldn't practically be defended, Mobile wasn't even ours at the beginning of the war though it was at the end, and the rest are just minor islands and fortifications. We had not repulsed the British from all American territory but all major offensives had been halted, and we could move at will into parts of Canada as well as having control of the great lakes after Put-N-Bay.
Mainly because the British failed to overwhelm US, just like we failed to overwhelm America. The US was attacked by British forces primarily, and from all sides. They invaded Maine but got no further, they invaded Ohio (my state) but were turned back and the British fleet broken at Put-n-Bay, they burned Washington, but were defeated at Baltimore, and invaded Louisiana and were spectacularly crushed, at the time the war ended. British transgressions against our neutrality caused the war.
Also, Americans don't view the war through a Canadian lens. The Canadian invasion had more to do with securing the NW territories around Detroit and clearing the Brit fleet out of the Great Lakes. So NOT gaining Canada I think is more of like a lost battle, not a lost cause for the Americans.
Anyway, those are my views. I hope you find them worthwhile.
This war is seen as a victory (even if it was more of a draw) because the war's issues were largely satisfied by the war's end. Impressment was no longer an issue, the end of the war brought an end to the blockading of American ships (although this had more to do w/end of the Napoleonic wars), and the end of the war brought security to the NW Territories and opened up the westward expansion. The "victory" is seen more in the legacy of the war, which was very beneficial to the US.
One important thing to realize is that America did NOT give us a BATTLE OF STALINGRAD at the BATTLE OF BALTIMORE ! Remember, that the small diversionary British force consisted of some 5,000 soldiers and sailors against 12,000 American soldiers in Baltimore and Ft. McHenry. When the British left,. the Americans did NOT charge out of their city and fort after them in hot pursuit. In fact the British burned a building known as TODD'S INHERITANCE as they were leaving.
Nechoii, the battle of New Orleans was the most one sided battle of the war and arguably one of, if not the single most one sided battle of the Napoleonic period. The reason we consider it a victory was because a full scale invasion of the United States was launched and repulsed on all fronts. We were simply defending our national sovereignty in the lead up to the war against clear British violations of our neutrality, we contemplated expansion into Canada but that wasn't the cause of the war.
Yeah, but that was still under Britsh rule, wasn't it? Yes, the name Canada was there, but during WWII it was Brittan at war with Japan using Indian forces that was part of it's territory, not India at war with Japan. Know'ma sayin?
@nukenate though you must remember that much of the "british" troops were canadian milita in british uniforms or other canadian units under british command
@nukenate acctually canada was part of the commenwealth and had a government and it was the people of the colony of canada marched on american regulars they fled well stood cheering
@alabarloplop No it wasn't. Canada was, and still is, a British self governing colony. Briain does not own Canada, but Canada and Britain are the same, we are the Anglo Saxon race. It was British troops sent from the Iberian Peninsular to Canada in order to save the Anglo Canadians from the Yanks. You can't claim Canada won this war on their own without also admitting that Canada and Britain are forever the same peoples spread on different continents.
There is no mention here about how the war of 1812 was really about hemp. Britain was impressing US ships, so they invaded Canada because it was a British colony. The war also involved Russia to, due to the hemp embargo on Britain.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
America had never one a war on its own. NEVER. And no America did not save Britain in ww2. The battle of Britain made it virtually impossible for Gerany to invade. And if the vey worst came we would make peace. Hitler respected Britain and wanted her as a Allie.
Well, I disagree with redcoatrifle's analysis of Britain's prospects in WWII as I think defeat was certainly a possibility for Britain, though not a certainty.(The loss of the war yes, but not being conquered, that is a separate question). He is right though about that being our first war to be one totally independently if you don't count native conflicts. The Mexican-American war was about 30 years later and he said "had" not "has" so... he is correct in that.
I will never get Americans... they start a war with the UK not once but twice! and they hate us... abit cheeky to say the least, considering the UK made the thirteen colonies, I bet the US would not of tried that shit had Britain been at peace in Europe at the time of both wars, a bunch of fucking backstabbers even back then...
The first time that Great Britain (NOT UK) INVADED the United States without provocation was within a month of the Declaration of Independence, during which there was peace in Europe generally. The US brought France, Spain, and Holland into the war later. Then when the UK INVADED the United States, this was after we declared war on account of the British seizing our neutral shipping, kidnapping our sailors, arming native insurrection in our borders, and maintaining forts on our territory.
Christ, I mean your name says it all doesn't it? bubba? fuck me you couldn't sound more like a good 'ole American reject, get yourself a canned ham and some grits and you got y'all a Hillbilly Christmas.
I don't see why Americans are so proud of the war of 1812 even though they lost... I mean what did they win? a little pride? but what did they prevent? a little piece of land for the Native Americans, giving it to them would of been the humane thing to do... but oh no your good 'ole Andy Jackson would rather commit Genocide.
Genocide? You mean like you brits have done to the Irish? You mean like Oliver the bastard, Cromwell did to those Irish women that were in the Royalist camp after the battle of Naesby? Oh no, that wasn't "genocide" exactly, was it?
"You mean like you brits have done to the Irish?", I will not even stump you by saying how many Brits have Irish ancestors, myself included, so whats your fucking point?
My point is (without obfuscation) that the pot should never call the kettle black. Our government has done things like what happened at naesby, to us. Ever hear of a place called waco? Have you ever heard of a place called Ruby Ridge Idaho? Evil is evil regardless of nation.
Ps a little history lesson - the 100 women and children who were killed were "most likely" Welsh who were mistaken for Irish because of their language, still abhorrent no less but if your going to try and pass over your take on history instead of the "real" events then don't bother because it makes you look like an idiot.
Actually, that's not MY take on History. That was from sir Winston Churchill's treatise on "The History of The English speaking peoples", (an excellent Historical literary work by the way) and not just ol FeralFury's opinion. So then, WHO looks like the idiot? MOI? The idiot? Not unless Mr. Churchill was mistaken, in which case, HE was the idiot, (which I find highly unlikely). The copy I read referred to those women as being Irish.
Churchill beng mistaken does not make him an idiot considering the sources he had at the time, I shall check this out myself (not google). I do know that Wales was a royalist stronghold in those days, and Anglos bye and large cant differentiate between welsh and gaelic.
Sorry. Not exactly a stalemate. The Brits didn't recognize the Louisiana Purchase and even failed to do so in the Treaty of Ghent. [Andy Jackson had to 'splain it to them.]
Excuse me, the British and their Canadian allies quite clearly won the War of 1812 and you would have lost the Revolutionary War as well were it not for the French
I guess your history class didn't teach you that at one time the colony of Canada pretty much bi-sected what is now the US until we kicked the Brits out of the good parts and relegated them to the frozen North. (There is a reason 90% of you live within 100 miles of the border.)
"(There is a reason 90% of you live within 100 miles of the border.)" I am English not Canadian, and does good to know that New England was on the brink of joining the British north Americans (there was no Canada then).
If it wasn't for the British soldiers of 1812, many of us Canadians would be speaking with an American accent today....that southern tang is a major turn off. Explains why there aren't too many porno's with star's screaming "ya'll!!! ya'll!"
You already speak with an American accent... though not a "Southern" accent and why would you be speaking with a Southern accent and saying "ya'll"... look across the border, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc, which state that borders Canada says "ya'll"?? None of them, if you had lost the war, you'd sound just the same as you do now, in fact almost everything would be the same really..
overall the us lost the war. but that isnt saying much for england because us was a fairly new country. now it isnt that big of a deal because the us and uk are allies now and they are the strongest alliance in the world
The Americans did an admirable job against British troops during the War of Independance in 1775 to 1783. Good fighters. But they were indeed fortunate that most of Britains troops were tied up in conflict in Europe, and they had the support of France, or things would have turned out much different. Same in 1812 - 1815, most British troops tied up fighting in Europe again. Lucky for the U.S. , or they would be singing "God Save The Queen" today.
From every Remembrance Day at the local Cenotaph here in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. The military band plays the music and God Save the Queen is sung along with O Canada, You can't be much of a Canadian. We have a parliamentary government, and also a constitutional monarchy. As much as you might not like it, Queen Elizabeth II is the legal Head of State of Canada. The Governor General is her representative here. When I went to school, we sang both songs. How well did you do in history?
It would be way smarter to have everyone build a pit behind a log in a concave rounded formation so that everyone could safely aim from a distance with their rifles while having The strategic advantage...
Nicely done and remarkably well researched. Although its theoretically correct to argue that the War of 1812 was not part of the Napoleonic Wars its worth noting that this is an academic point, at least from the British viewpoint. Although not officially allied to Napoleon, the United States had signed a trade agreement with the French, which effectively made them part of the problem.
The war of 1812 was not part of the Napoleonic wars. It just happened to be around that time. The Napoleonic wars were over stopping Napolens expansionist ways. The war of 1812 was over trade being restricted by Britain. Also it was not much of a loss by the US. We were pushed out of Canada yes but we with stood the push of the worlds best military at the time. We also crushed the Invasion of the south at the Battle of New Orleans. That showed that we could strand up to the full force.
hahahahahhaha the cold war was a war of ideals between US and the USSR... maybe we didn't point it out on the map to enough of you but vietnam was not in the USSR
Should the US have laughed when the bombs from terrorists blewup in your Country. Should we laugh when your Queen dies. U would have your country if it wasnt for the US and Russia in ww2
No one is laughing. I am simply stating a fact of history. Half my family is Canadian, and half U.S. I have no reason to laugh. Why would you? Yes, the U.S certainly contributed in WWII. I don't deny that. But this video is about the War of 1812, not WWII.
DON'T GIVE THAT BULL THE AMERICANS DID DICK ALL IN WWII they came in real late and lost a lot less don't go actin like they are the big hero's they helped sure but only at the end
Bullshit...if it was the US all alone taking on Hitler then you can say we owe you but without the Alies who were in the war much much longer than you - you would be speaking German today for certain.
I never have bought the excuse on WWI and WWII where everyone says the US jumped in at the last minute. While Britain defended itself well and Russia did a huge amount of heavy lifting on the ground in WWII, lets be honest, the Allies in both world wars were on their way to defeat when the US intervened. In WWI Russia capitulated, Italians were surrendering in hundreds of thousands to Germany/Austria, French were mutinying, the Allied front was collapsing towards Paris, which the Germans shelled
STFU, your countries economy is crashing, USA wont be able to afford its huge military, and your country will be reduced to the pile of shit that it grew from.
We declared war over our trade being restricted. The US just bought the Louisanna purchase. Why would we want more land? We were still trying to figure out how we could handle all the land we just gotten we hardly wanted more. Canada was just the only way we could attack Britian.
OK, for a class project, this is pretty amazing! Wow. What level of education is the class? The facts are pretty much solid, although it has a clearly, shall we say, canocentric spin! Being Canadian I'm of a similar sentiment; however, there are some key elements of the story that did not make it in but must be told. Primary amongst these is the role of First Nations & Tecumseh in particular. If it was not for Tecumseh & his compatriots, Canadians might be singing Yankee Doodle Dandy!
If one country invades another, and the deffending country keeps its country, even if it doesn't take any land its self, it wins the deffence, and there for the war.
there wear a number of issues with the war of 1812. the unpopulaity of the war in new england almost led to them joining canada.
the USA thought that the canadians would join them as a rebel army and the indians would either aid them or stay neutral. the british however had learned and had already fought in canada so we knew the ground and fought a masterful campaign. a diplomatic victory fr the empire. a stalemate otherwise
you guys are fucking retards canadiens had nothing to do with the defeat it was britain who did everything and it was britain who saved canada so all you people who say it was canada kiss my ass you are wrong
Seriously, no one won. The U.S had the military advantage but when they invaded Canada it was a complete failiure. And Britain had no gain by taking the war to the U.S, so no one won.
Guys dont bother arguing they wont admit it. We know we won in Canada and punished them by burning their capitol, lets just be smug in our victory lol :)
I think we are all loosing understanding about the war and why it was fought. Let us remember it was because the British wanted all our major water ways and had block and even sunk our trading ships. This left us no option but to declare war. Sense Canada was under British rule they offensive had to start there to secure the water way that belong to America since we had won our independents from England.
it was also fought to stop the British in the west which failed, Britain were in oregon till 1846. And your towns were blocked in the war damaging yr economy
well we burned down the white house u USA dummys and u talk too much shit about other countrys and you would likely lose wars without help from your allies go Canada!!! p.s USA is full of fat people
this war was a 'small' British/Canadian victory though, because the American frontiersmen wanted Canada before the war,and this influenced Maddison declaring war
Ah Detroit my home town

This video is crap! The Americans came up and kicked Lower Canada's butt and went home. They were not driven back to the US. And Canada wasn't an independent nation until 1867. Even after that year, Canadians were not Canadians, they were still British subjects. And it was the British who burned the White House, not Canadians. I'm a Canadian and I have read many sources on the War of 1812. The War ended in a truce, with neither side claiming victory.

As for the blockade, of course we did not "break" a blockade by the most powerful navy in the world, however we did run the blockade regularly, most of the naval battles of the war had been American victories given our tactics of not engaging in large fleet actions (Put-N-Bay aside) but instead concentrated on ship to ship battles where our frigates regularly defeated Britain's. Our privateer attacks also decimated British shipping and drove up British shipping insurance costs significantly.

Reply to Robertz1986 : The British invasion of the United States in the summer of 1812 was NOT "repulsed on all fronts." When the shooting finally stopped in February, 1815, the British controlled the District of Maine; Fort Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin, which controlled the fur trade on the upper Mississippi, Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon; Cumverland Island, Fort Point Peter, town of St. Mary's in Georgia and Fort Bowyer - Mobile Bay, Alabama.
NECHOII 2 years ago
Maine was not even a state yet, Wisconsin and Oregon were really fringe territories/claims of the United States that couldn't practically be defended, Mobile wasn't even ours at the beginning of the war though it was at the end, and the rest are just minor islands and fortifications. We had not repulsed the British from all American territory but all major offensives had been halted, and we could move at will into parts of Canada as well as having control of the great lakes after Put-N-Bay.
Robertz1986 2 years ago
Mainly because the British failed to overwhelm US, just like we failed to overwhelm America. The US was attacked by British forces primarily, and from all sides. They invaded Maine but got no further, they invaded Ohio (my state) but were turned back and the British fleet broken at Put-n-Bay, they burned Washington, but were defeated at Baltimore, and invaded Louisiana and were spectacularly crushed, at the time the war ended. British transgressions against our neutrality caused the war.

Also, Americans don't view the war through a Canadian lens. The Canadian invasion had more to do with securing the NW territories around Detroit and clearing the Brit fleet out of the Great Lakes. So NOT gaining Canada I think is more of like a lost battle, not a lost cause for the Americans.
Anyway, those are my views. I hope you find them worthwhile.
Nmber6 2 years ago
@600will
This war is seen as a victory (even if it was more of a draw) because the war's issues were largely satisfied by the war's end. Impressment was no longer an issue, the end of the war brought an end to the blockading of American ships (although this had more to do w/end of the Napoleonic wars), and the end of the war brought security to the NW Territories and opened up the westward expansion. The "victory" is seen more in the legacy of the war, which was very beneficial to the US.

One important thing to realize is that America did NOT give us a BATTLE OF STALINGRAD at the BATTLE OF BALTIMORE ! Remember, that the small diversionary British force consisted of some 5,000 soldiers and sailors against 12,000 American soldiers in Baltimore and Ft. McHenry. When the British left,. the Americans did NOT charge out of their city and fort after them in hot pursuit. In fact the British burned a building known as TODD'S INHERITANCE as they were leaving.
NECHOII 2 years ago
Nechoii, the battle of New Orleans was the most one sided battle of the war and arguably one of, if not the single most one sided battle of the Napoleonic period. The reason we consider it a victory was because a full scale invasion of the United States was launched and repulsed on all fronts. We were simply defending our national sovereignty in the lead up to the war against clear British violations of our neutrality, we contemplated expansion into Canada but that wasn't the cause of the war.

The first time that Great Britain (NOT UK) INVADED the United States without provocation was within a month of the Declaration of Independence, during which there was peace in Europe generally. The US brought France, Spain, and Holland into the war later. Then when the UK INVADED the United States, this was after we declared war on account of the British seizing our neutral shipping, kidnapping our sailors, arming native insurrection in our borders, and maintaining forts on our territory.

The Americans did an admirable job against British troops during the War of Independance in 1775 to 1783. Good fighters.

Nicely done and remarkably well researched. Although its theoretically correct to argue that the War of 1812 was not part of the Napoleonic Wars its worth noting that this is an academic point, at least from the British viewpoint. Although not officially allied to Napoleon, the United States had signed a trade agreement with the French, which effectively made them part of the problem.

The war of 1812 was not part of the Napoleonic wars. It just happened to be around that time. The Napoleonic wars were over stopping Napolens expansionist ways.

We were pushed out of Canada yes but we with stood the push of the worlds best military at the time. We also crushed the Invasion of the south at the Battle of New Orleans.

Seriously, no one won. The U.S had the military advantage but when they invaded Canada it was a complete failiure. And Britain had no gain by taking the war to the U.S, so no one won.

I think we are all loosing understanding about the war and why it was fought. Let us remember it was because the British wanted all our major water ways and had block and even sunk our trading ships. This left us no option but to declare war. Sense Canada was under British rule they offensive had to start there to secure the water way that belong to America since we had won our independents from England.

it was also fought to stop the British in the west which failed, Britain were in oregon till 1846. And your towns were blocked in the war damaging yr economy

this war was a 'small' British/Canadian victory though, because the American frontiersmen wanted Canada before the war,and this influenced Maddison declaring war
