Our textbooks talked about Canada, they talked about it is a British Colony.

And I'm not sure how you could claim the US lost the War of 1812, as the US
didn't lose any territory, and we got the Brits to stop impressing our
sailors, and to recognize the US as not only a country, but as the Super
Power of the entire hemisphere, including South America. At which point the
US and British have been probably the most inseparable ally in modern times.

I don't claim that we won, and neither do the textbooks. The war ended in a
stalemate. Canada instead of being a free country remained a British Colony,
the Brits were not able to retake additional land in the Americas, as they
had wanted, but nobody lost land.
