Perhaps no conflict in American history is more important yet more overlooked and misunderstood than the War of 1812. Begun by President James Madison after decades of humiliating British trade interference and impressment of American sailors, the war in many ways was the second battle for United States independence.
At the climax of the war — inspired by the defeat of Napoleon in early 1814 and the perceived illegality of the Louisiana Purchase — the British devised a plan to launch a three-pronged attack against the northern, eastern, and southern U.S. borders. Concealing preparations for this strike by engaging in negotiations in Ghent, Britain meanwhile secretly issued orders to seize New Orleans and wrest control of the Mississippi and the lands west of the river. They further instructed British commander General Edward Pakenham not to cease his attack if he heard rumors of a peace treaty. Great Britain even covertly installed government officials within military units with the intention of immediately taking over administrative control once the territory was conquered.
According to author Ronald J. Drez, the British strategy and the successful defense of New Orleans through the leadership of General Andrew Jackson affirm the serious implications of this climatic -battle. Far from being simply an unnecessary epilogue to the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans firmly secured for the United States the territory acquired through the Louisiana Purchase.
Through the use of primary sources, Drez provides a deeper understanding of Britain’s objectives, and The War of 1812, Conflict and Deception offers a compelling account of this pivotal moment in American history.

Us great grand kids of Canadian colonials consider 1812 it a victory……ok it was a tie, but that still mean the nation of Canada has yet to be defeated.
$The Canadian War$
*For Canadians, the War of 1812 was the successful defence of a small colony against attack by a much larger neighbour.*
“Canadians endured repeated invasions and occasional occupations, but each invasion ultimately ended with an American withdrawal. The Royal Navy and British Army supported by Canadian regulars, Canadian militia, and First Peoples warriors, successfully defended Canada.”

I’ve heard too many Americans claiming the UK is their BFF ally, but Canada declared war on Japan on Dec 7th 1941 - one day ahead of UK.
Canada wisely declined to go to Vietnam, but, it’s little known that upwards of 40,000 Canadians, mostly young guys, crossed the border and signed up with the US army, navy, Marines, air force. I think most of them were grunts, they came to be in combat to stomp Commies.
Then there was 9/11.

BTW, Never judge Canadians based on my F-uped troll-rantings. I’m not representative of the nice people in my country of birth, nor the species.

Everyone loves Canadians. Some of the nicest people in the Caesarean gens are Canadians (half German, half Irish).
