The War of 1812 of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much as it started; in a stalemate, it was a war that confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in attempts to capture Canada. The British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New
Orleans. There were a number of American naval vessels in which Americans proved theselves superior to British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War launched American naval traditions.
