>Oh, did the US win 1812 and someone forgot to tell me?

The treaty concluding it [1] looks like a stalemate.

However, the following engagements (from [2]) showed that

Constitution-Guerriere
United States-Macedonian
Constitution-Java
Essex-Pheobe and Cherub
Constitution-Cyane and Levant
Battle of Lake Erie
Battle of Lake Champlain
