MODERATORS
They burned down the white house because they were forced to leave the city. People always act like it was some huge victory for them but they always leave out the fact that they couldn't actually hold territory in the US, and the war ended with a major US victory at New Orleans.
At the same time the US invasion of Canada failed and they couldn't hold territory there either. Obviously. That's called a stalemate.
Just a dumb point to bring up since we can all see that DC doesn't belong to the UK today. And Toronto doesn't belong to the US. So yes it was a stalemate, without the sarcastic quotation marks.
