Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
Nope. To sum up the para, the general consensus among historians is that it was a draw. A small minority think the British won the war, and an even smaller minority think both of them won the war, strategically speaking.
I could edit that if I wanted. xD I just like Americans.
Talking about the war of 1812 now are we (that got off units of measurement fast). If I remember correctly, I believe that the war would not have happened if there was better communication, as war was declared on Britain, I believe, the day before Britain ordered a stop to what was angering Americans. I also believe that the most famous battle of the war (the battle of New Orleans I believe) happened after a peace treaty had been signed. Kind of crazy for a war.

I think most wars are pretty crazy. Indeed, if we had any sense, diplomacy would nearly always prevail. But yes it was a pretty weird war. Especially when you consider the British were at the time under a very real threat of invasion from France, and yet still committed so many men and ships to the New World just to protect their rep (well and Canada too).
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are we going through multiple history lessons at once? Okay, I am officially staying out of this thread until it changes topic. I don't like history.
Definitely agree on preferring ancient history. It happened so long ago nobody's feelings are hurt about it anymore, and you can just enjoy it for the story value.
