<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 4124596, member: 25270&quot;]The slave compensation makes sense, and yes I know it was fought on land. The U.S. tried and failed to invade Canada and the British burned part of Washington, D.C. But as you said it was more of a nuisance to Britain as they were still fighting Napoleon at the time. The part about California doesn&#039;t make sense though as that would have already been Spanish land at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately for the U.S., at the time war was declared we had almost no army or navy. We just assumed we&#039;d be able to throw something together and cruise to victory, but that wasn&#039;t reality, and by the time we had a decent fighting force, the war was over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
