Not entirely singlehanded. The British were doing fairly well but got
screwed at Yorktown when the French fleet came along and defeated the
British fleet. In the War of 1812 the US invaded Canada with the plan of
seizing what was then British territory. They lost. They had a
military objective and they did not achieve it. Most of the issues that
led to the war had already been resolved before it even started.
