Right and wrong: the war was against Britain, not Canada,

And what was the status of Canada, regarding Britain, in 1774-1781 and
1812-1815?

It was a British colony (that's the part Steve got right), but they were not
already at war in 1812 (that's the part he got wrong). Congress declared
war so that they could invade the Canadian colonies; they didn't invade the
Canadian colonies because they were at war.


All the best,
