Who Won the War of 1812
Intro
British citizens alone would not have won the War of 1812 but key parts in their victory were their allies with the Natives and the Canadians and those numbers helped beat the Americans, their brilliant strategy for fighting the war, whereas America did the exact opposite and then they were defeated, and America’s extremely poor leadership with General Hull and his unacceptable and disgraceful cowardice.
Argument #1 Britain’s numbers alone would not suffice if their army wanted any hope because the American soldiers outnumbered Britain alone from 10 to 1. Canada and the Natives helped supply more soldiers with militia, their navy and a lot of troops so that the numbers pulled up and Britain had 6000 soldiers while America had 7000. The forces of the Natives and the Canadians to the Britain were extremely stellar and strong even though they were lacking 1000 men that America had. Each regular man was trained to be top-class soldiers so that they would not fear cannons, gunshots and swords. America had normal training because they had the numbers to outdo Britain but the difference is that Britain’s soldiers were much more competent with handling war than America’s soldiers.
Argument #2 America had one strategy and one strategy only. Attack and stop at nothing that the British fired at you. The British wanted to be offensive but as soon as they saw the Americans always initiating every battle, the Generals of the British decided to let them attack but put up strong defense and then when they get tired of waging war, then Britain will know their strategy and their weak points and be able to attack with full force. Britain was extremely wise in making this decision because although at first, when the news gets around Britain keeps retreating, to regular people, Britain is a coward but when they whip out their best weapons and refreshed fighters then, only then will you realize their strategy all along.
Argument #3 Leadership is extremely important
