I'm unsure how that makes Canada the 51st state. Care to expand on that thought? I'm interested to see how you arrived at this conclusion. Last I had checked Canada continues to have its very own federal government

1812 was, in part, about annexing Canada. Hence, why, when you slice the loaf, America ultimately "lost" - Although the ramifications for losing this particular war were non-existent. The capitol moved to DC (the brits burned it down the whitehouse - which was far less grand than it is today hehe) and the boarders remained exactly as they were before the war.

Ironically, when the Americans did invade the Canadian colonies, they thought they would be greeted as liberators! I think, however, if you look at the time line, a mere 60 years after 1812 Canada would confederate as a sovereign nation. Perhaps they drew inspiration to secede from the revolutionary americans!
