Marcurix: A war the USA lost from a military stand point
We won at N'Awlins!
Speaking of which, one important fact lost in this thread was that the New England states had the Hartford Convention and were considering seceding from the rest of the country in light of the economic damage of the war and its unpopularity there. The news of the Hartford Convention reached President Madison about the same time as the news of our win in the Battle of New Orleans and the British-American agreement to cease conflict, so the Hartford Convention participants were largely ridiculed afterward.
a war some people in the USA think they won, other like on this forum suggest it was a stalmate.
