Agreed 100% on the stupidity of that war (both sides, not just the US) but I have to note that the consensus view of the war's causes doesn't center on slavery. There is some mention of concerns re balancing the count of free vs slave states, but lots of other things were up there in the list. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_War_of_1812
