"The Brits signed the treaties because they couldn't spare the troops to take out the Native Americans due to that short guy running amok in Europe." - gnu

IIRC gnu in 1812 when the Americans attacked Canada they were met by local militia forces a few British Regulars and Native Americans who were fighting for the British primarily because they knew that the Americans (as they were by this stage) wanted to push them off their land. Battle of Queenstown Heights involved 1,300 British against 3,500 Americans - the British won, the commanders on the day were Major-General Isaac Brock, Major-General John Hale Sheaffe and the Native American Chief Tecumseh.

So at what point during the War of 1812 was it ever Britains plan to "take out the Native Americans"???
