The American invasion was the second US attempt to forcibly annex Canada, the first invasion having been attempted and defeated in 1775.

Ironically, that attempt at invasion, and Canadians' successful defeat of the invasion, with British help, was crucial in igniting a discussion of nationhood between the very separate French- and English-speaking cultures that led to the creation of Canada as a country.
