I think, though, that it was most definitely unpopular when the young US declared war on Great Britain. For example, even Lt. Colonel Reed, who successfully led the militia against Sir Peter Parker’s troops at Caulk’s Field on 31 AUG 1814, had voted against declaring war while he was a legislator.

It was a draw in the sense that no lands exchanged hands and no borders changed.

Without those brave Marylanders (The 400), we might still be singing “God Save the Queen” to this day.
