But as far as I know the War of 1812 was never intended to be a land grab for the British/Canadians; any forays made onto American turf were just to try to beat them into submission, not to conquer their lands. I could be wrong. But if true then the fact that America currently dominates the (arable land of the) continent isn't a good yardstick of measuring the outcome of that conflict.
