Sorry, but those were English troops fighting for Her Majesty.



Thats a mischaracterisation. For most of the war the major British forces were busy with Napoleon, so Canada was defended by a majority of locally recruited troops and militia. This included many "United Empire Loyalists", who had the same colonial origins as the citizens of the US, but a different viewpoint on their relationship with mother Britain. Many of them originated in the US, having retreated to Canada after losing the war of independence. There were also plenty of French-Canadians fighting under the British flag, even while Britain was at war with France.

Also, the Brits were getting thier butts kicked so badly in that ill fated war that shortly thereafter they signed a peace treaty and all went back to how it had been before the war.



Considering the fact that it was the US that declared war and invaded Canada, that's a very dubious assessment of the outcome. You "kicked our butts so badly" that you got nowhere with the war you started? It was a complicated war, but the debate among sensible historians is only whether to consider it a draw or a British/Canadian victory. To view it as a US victory is pretty absurd.
