The only reason President Madison declared a state of war was because the United States lost over 1,000 ships in the intervening years by piracy from the English. As such he really had no choice but to declare war on Britian.

Yeah, declare war on Britian.

However in regards to your first statement, do we read English differently? From your first post alone:

Quote:

...He knows that if war breaks out, Montreal is likely to be an early American objective. The Americans will attack Montreal

US invading Canada

Quote:

...This led to Canada backing the british during the war and also led to 3 American defeats in an attempt to invade parts of Canada.

US invading Canada #2

As well as

Quote:

American attempts to invade Canada across the Niagara (October) and toward Montreal (November) failed completely.

Mention of US attempting to invade Canada #3

If you go back in history past the War of 1812 itself to the American Revolution & the immigration of British loyalists up to Canada, it sheds a whole different light on the war of 1812 as well. Will post about that in greater detail tomorrow, for now I have to sleep.
