Talk:The Roman empire of America

In the War of 1812 the Americans did send troops to Canada. They took York(Toronto) before being held back, while the British sacked Washington DC. If the Americans diverted more troops to Canada, then the British would have just taken more US territory and the war would have just been the US, based in hostile territory, trying to liberate occupied territory, it would be a disaster for the US. If the British lost Canada that wouldn't have made them severly weaker against Napoleon. The war of 1812 was actually draining resources from fighting Napoleon, without Canada, the British would have been stronger against Napoleon. The British were also allied with the native tribes against the US because of the US agressive expansion policy. One of the goals for Britain in the war was to establish a native state in Michigan/Ohio, but the war wasn't decicive enough.

In other words, this is not a very plausible scenario.Oerwinde 20:33, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
