Bullshit. That war was a an out and out land grab aka theft. Encroaching forts and impressment of US citizens was nothing more than an excuse to steal Canada..Pablo Sanchez wrote:snip
The English occupied US territory and siezed US citizens because they didn't take the US seriously as a nation. As far as establishing the US as a player, the war of 1812 was a necessary and successful campaign. While the US would have lost if the English had made the stupid and politically untenable decision of trying to fully beat the Americans down, the United States showed that it was willing to fight to maintain its prestige and it further displayed that it could bloody the nose of the best military in the world.
