War of 1812

The War of 1812 lasted only about two years, and basically it ended the same as it started in a stalemate. It was a war that finally confirmed American Independence. The United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which America’s ships proved they were stronger than the same sized British ships.
