The War of 1812 was definitely a tie. The US motivation for war wasnt to annex Canada. Remember, they invaded us before we set foot in Canada. Invading Canada was sort of one of those "while we're at it kind of things"

The war was about control of the seas more than any other issue. Most obviously the whole impressment issue(Some 10,000 Americans kidnapped and forced into service), but also the attempts at blockades during the Napoleonic wars, and the sanctioned privateering(piracy) of American ships. Also the British were stirring up trouble between the US and the Indians.

Reading my post I have decided that it wasnt even a tie, since we achieved our main goals with regards to impressment. We also won outright possesion of Spanish Florida, after Spain let Britain use it as a naval base.
