It has often been said that the history of wars are written by the winners of those wars. Since Canada won the War of 1812, the history of it was written by and for Canadians.
It has also often been said that the losers of wars tend to forget about those wars. Since the US lost the War of 1812, there has been a strong tendency to ignore it.
