"british removing seamen from US ships"

The US did achieve one of its objectives though: In the Treaty of Ghent, the British promised not to arm the Native Americans from Canada or even to trade with them. This allowed the US to easily expand westward.

In the war of 1812 the US achieved a major objective, the UK lost little of real value and the various Indian tribes who lived west of the US lost everything.

"The British were also removing semen from US ships" lol, so that's why the war started.

That moment your trained army cant defeat Canadian Militia and natives but can defeat British regulars

I was always taught this about this particular war: We (the USA) fought the British. Canada won. The Native Americans lost.

I love how they named it the year the war started

I wasn’t taught that anyone won. I was taught that there was a war and America was like “Yeah, okay, I’m done. Canada you can keep your land.” And Canada was like “Alright, thanks mate.”

The End.

So what I'm hearing is, No one won. They sort of said fuck the war, I got better stuff to do

This war is listed as a stalemate for a reason... so firstly, lets look at the facts:
The U.S economy depended on the British Empire for its exports in the early 1800s (at 47%). The cease of Britain's trade with America paired with a naval blockade (blocking U.S from trading with U.K/France) crippled the U.S economy during the Napoleonic Wars. Impressing Americans into the Royal Navy, posing a threat to an invasion via Canada, and supporting Native Americans to prevent expansion; the British were a seemingly permanent thorn in America's side.

America's goal was to dislodge that thorn. To show that it was not to bow to an increasingly powerful Britain. Britain wanted to keep America east of the Appalachians, keeping them weak. America wanted to expand in all directions (including Canada), making themselves powerful. The compromise at the end of the war was that in exchange for Britain leaving America alone to prosper, the U.S would allow Canada to exist whilst submitting to British naval domination. Each nation had their security concerns and those concerns were acknowledged and finally remedied in Treaty of Ghent. America is justified in celebrating the outcome of this war, likewise Canada.

I was so confused at first when you said they removed all seamen. Semen

Ahhh, communication distance. How it managed to create situations like New Orleans battled after peace treaty.

So helpful, trying to write an essay about Napoleon affecting the U.S., and focusing it on the War of 1812. Ya... it's the night before it's due, I'm screwed.

But the vid is very helpful

blablabla

Theres an awful lot of Americans thinking they won this war let me clear things up, neither side won lmao

sinistersixty

full disclosure im British but I am objective about history, however I really can't see why some Americans think that they won this war, they did not achieve any of their objectives and they totally failed in their attempts to gain ground in Canada, America would eventually go on to become a Lion but at this stage it was a Lion cub that still has a lot to learn, us Brits are happy to chat about every war in our history win, lose or draw but Americans seem to have a very hard time talking about the ones they lost, but most historians agree that this was a loss for young America
