In what ways was the US military unprepared for war as they took on the British in Canada?

The US Military was unprepared for war against the British in Canada due to inadequate training, poorly organized supply lines, and a lack of experienced leadership. Many soldiers were unseasoned and lacked proper equipment, which hindered their effectiveness in battle. Additionally, the US underestimated the strength and resolve of British forces and their Indigenous allies, leading to strategic miscalculations. This combination of factors contributed to a series of setbacks in the early stages of the conflict.
