"We did the Yanks vs Brits twice a while back and if I’m not mistaken we don’ whooped ‘em good twice.

Small correction. Maybe you forgot either the Revolution or the "War of 1812". ;-)

There is that, but the main one was the Revolutionary War. Some say it was the second war of American independence. It was fought for three years and both sides just got tired of fighting and signed a peace treaty in Belgium. Basically all about US ships having to stop in England before going on to France because England and France had been at war and the US was trading with France.

So basically it wasn't that the US don' whooped England again, it just came down to being tired of a war that lasted three years and a peace treaty was signed (as mentioned above).
