We won the war of 1812. The treaty of Ghent basically said, "reset to prewar conditions, but US also gets fishing rights in the Gulf of St. Lawrence." A marginal victory, but a victory none the less.

I'm guessing Abacab doesn't read many history books. It's much more entertaining to troll a forum for a game he can't play.

If you want to further substantiate the PvP-asskicking claim, the Battle of New Orleans cements it.
Jackson's 2300 troops defeated the nearly 12,000 British, with only 350 Americans killed or wounded to the 2500 Brits killed/wounded.
