America got humiliated.A thirty-something-year-old country took on the biggest naval power in the world in a mostly naval conflict. The fact that the US didnt get totally reconquered is enough to call it a stalemate. but the whole point of the bloody war for America was to capture and take over what is now Canada and they failed.
Only because of British impressment of American merchants to the British Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and trade restrictions brought about by Britain's ongoing war with France. and that means nothing when talking about past wars. The only thing that should be looked at are the objectives and who won. The objective of the invasion was the capture what is now Canada and did America meet the sole reason for the war? No they did not, it doesn't matter why you start a war. The only thing that matters are objectives and meeting those objectives.
