You will find that the Americans barely won the war of 1812, and in fact, lost most of the battles, including the battle of our own capital when the British marched in and burned the white house. Ever wonder why it is called the white house? Cause they painted it white over the burns.

well, it is true that we didn't win the war, and won only a handful of battles, but American did gain something from the war of 1812, and it was the respect of other nations.

[Emperor Onasi]

Strictly speaking, i consider ending the blockade on our ports winning. But at the same time we lost more men and more battles.

heats, that is spam... don't spam...

If the americans lost more battles why did we give them their independence and allow them to build their own contry which would later become a massive super power?
