At its core, a traditional battle has two opposing forces facing off against each other, both using violent means to outright kill its enemy's units and/or disrupt its enemy's logistics to starve those same units. The one dies the most... well, loses. That did not happen the way you might be thinking it did. US forces, taken as a whole and over the length of the campaign, dominated their Northern enemies. That is a fact. But in the end, the US left. That is also a fact, thus the US lost.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

ChromaticAngel 04/07/17 12:52:06 AM #28:	Serious note. We absolutely lost the war of 1812. Saying we won it is pretty much revisionist history as the message that we'd surrendered to the British hadn't made it to Andrew Jackson yet, and the Brits were already packing up and leaving (after having burned down the white house) so Andrew Jackson attacked some crappy british fortification and then they left (cause they were leaving anyway) and then the story goes "Andrew Jackson beat the British so bad they ran away." If you count pre Constitution, the Mexicans also whipped our asses. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:876706569] in How many w...
