Hehehe, yeah, well, I was talking about the other way around, the US
trying to invade Canada, not the fact that Britain kicked US butt.
But, as before, the British found the stiff local resistance (and
indeed weather) too much to hold on to over time. Like the US in
Vietnam.
The utter failure of the treks north from Lake Champlain are still
taught, or were in the 70's, in New York State schools.
