1812 went pretty well, actually.

A draw is still a victory for the US considering that a decisive loss would've effectively reabsorbed us as a British colony, so I'm not really sure how it went 'pretty well' for Britain. The only thing the US did not do is capture what is now Canada.

British reconquest of America was hardly a serious prospect though - particularly with so many troops devoted to fighting Napoleon.
