ollaimh said... we didn't manage to conquer the us so it was realistically a draw.

Say what ? Conquer the US ? Never a consideration. Therefore, never a draw. Why do so many people try to defend the fact that the US lost the WAR OF 1812 by slighting it ? Are you Yanks so insecure that you cannot even admit to the fact that you lost to the most advanced war machine on the planet ? The Brits haven't lost a war since 1066 !!!! Get used to it !!!!
