"You Canadians do realize that we chuckle whenever you mention the war of 1812, right?"
If by chuckle, you mean "Huh? Duh -What's that? I got my cock stuck in my sister", then yeah, I'd believe that.
"Besides, we weren't fighting Canadians- we were fighting the British imperial army that ruled Canada."
From Wikipedia's entry on the subject:
(On the Great Lakes border, more than half of the British forces were made up of Canadian militia.)
Wikipedia lists 10,000 British regulars and almost 90,000 Canadian militia as the forces in the war.
To say that the people living in Canada were actually British is inaccurate and ultimately meaningless. They were no more so then the Americans were and the war was the first step in forging our sovereign un-American nation.
"Oh, and another thing? It was a stalemate. No one lost or gained anything."
Canada had two goals: repel the invasion and avoid being swallowed up by the US of A. Canada met both those goals with flying colors. as credited to the British. The US failed in every war goal they had except for one, the impressments of American, and that had already ended diplomatically as the war started.
Plus, (its like beating a dead dog, but what the fuck) I hate to break it to you, America ended the war with less territory than when they started: At the time of the Treaty of Ghent, British / Canadian militia occupied part of the District of Maine. Plus, they failed to convince Canada to keep Detroit or the red wings after British -Canadian forces took the city as US troops ran the other way.
