One thing I've heard from a few people is that inside the USA it is taught that America won the war of 1812. I wonder if that's actually true.
I do not see a British flag hanging over the White house...

Nor is there a Canadian flag...

:hmm:

Sure seems to me us 'biatches' have at least what we started with...maybe a wee bit more.

Maybe I'm wrong (here in Britain the war of 1812 is considered a campaign in the Napolionic wars rather then as a seperate war) but I have never heard that the aim of the Empire in the war was to annex the United States but rather to secure Canada and prevent the United States becoming a threat to further British interests in the New World.

And as I recall it ended in stalemate with both sides unwilling to allow further suffering to continue.
