War of 1812

What would today we like if we had not won the War of 1812?

    Americans believed they got the victory of the War of 1812. They destroyed the last few ties between themselves and the British. The Indians knew how much of a loss they had. They continued to lose more and more land to the new settlers. They hoped that the English would win so that expansion towards the west would cease. This meant they sided with Great Britain. For the British, the loss of this war was no big deal. The year of 1812 was the year that Napoleon marched into Russia. This meant that the war against us was just something on the side that they weren't even worried about.
    If Britain HAD won the War of 1812, where would we be today? Would America still have independence, or would it be controlled by the British? The United States may still be fighting the British if it weren't for winning the War of 1812. It wouldn't possess the entire Western portion of the US that we have today. The current citizens of the US would be deprived of knowing what great things that have made America the great country that it is today.

Reality is that with the persistence that the Americans possessed, they would not give in. They would continue on a pursuit for their complete freedom from Great Britain like they already had been. The war may not have been declared over. It may have gone on for several more years to come until the British gave them what they wanted, complete severance.
