Well, this war was basically a side quest for UK because they were fighting Napoleon Bonaparte at that time.

British probably didn't care about this that much, because this war was also the year Napoleon invaded Russia

Mostly Canadian’s fought the US since the British were to busy dealing with napoleon

If you ask Joy Reid, we fought Canada to take them over.

I mean... Canada was essentially a part Britain at that time, and the US was very much at war with the British. So...

Americans like to rant on about 1776, but they got their asses handed to them by the Brits in 1812.

If your saying that Canada and Britain won the War of 1812, then your wrong because nobody won. Just because, Canada burned down the White House doesn't mean that they won the war. The war reached a STALEMATE and both sides (America and Britain, including Canada) made peace and likely.... became allies again? Anyway, nobody won the War of 1812 because of a simple fair stalemate but you can kind of also say that America won the War of 1812 since America did more efficiently and in today's terms, America could beat the two nations (Britain and Canada) any day. Lots of people joke about Canada sending its "moose cavalry" but even if moose (deers) are actually stronger than eagles (birds), eagles can literally swoop down and try to get the deer's weak spots. The national animal of the United Kingdom (the lion) is stronger than the eagle but can do the same thing, they are both carnivores while a eagle might prefer fresh fish but a lion definitely meat. So, yeah nobody won the War of 1812. Also can we just take the time to say that the Internet is completely wrong about the wars, that America lost? like the Korean War, which people say that America lost when nobody won. South Korea's allies didn't win and North Korea's allies didn't win. No side won. It was a STALEMATE. Also, if people are gonna criticize me about "stalemate" then a stalemate is "A situation in which further action or progress by opposing or competing parties seems impossible". Or in the chess definition. "A position counting as a draw, in which a player is not in check but cannot move except into check". The "chess" definition kind of makes sense since what i have been saying that America, Britain, and Canada reached a smooth standstill or a stalemate, so finally, NEITHER SIDE WON THE WAR OF 1812 :)
