The Roman empire of America

During the war of 1812 American officials believed that if they could drive the British out of America the war would go by smoother, so President James Madison sent troops into Canada. Canada was an easy victory and the Bristish were soon pushed out of America. From that point on the Americans pushed farther into territories that were not their own. Canada was not completely under American control and several civil wars broke out, but in the end America had control of Canada. Because the British was kicked out of canada they lost the resources needed to fight Napoleon, and at the battle of Waterloo, they lost.
