I'm really intrigued to see how you will justify the terms agreed upon in the Treaty of Ghent as a "British victory". The Brits withdrew, giving up all territorial gains made during the war and the war ended with an American victory at Plattsburg. The British offensive also did NOTHING to stem the impending tide of Manifest Destiny and the resulting Westward expansion of the American culture. :thinking
I'm really intrigued to see how you will justify the loss of three forts and a huge chunk of north Mid-West territory (part of which remain Canadian today, the rest of which weren't returned until decades later) as "giving up all territorial gains". Furthermore, I'm interested to see your response to the British impressment policy's continued practice, and the total forced destruction of the American embargo.
