>Redcoats land at Washington and burn the place to the ground
>American economy strangled by British naval blockade
>America desperately begs for peace, then commits some more warcrimes after they get the armistice, for no particular reason
>Only reason America doesn't get annexed again is that it has nothing of value to Britain at that time, and Britain is dealing with real problems back in Europe (Britain stood alone against a tyrannical European despot with dreams of world domination, where have I heard that one before?)
