Just a quick question; suppose that the War of 1812 was less of a sideshow (reasons not important), did Britain have any territorial ambitions in North America? If they'd been able/willing to commit more resources to tackling the young USA, and won a more decisive victory agains them, would they have enforced any territorial changes, or was it more about putting the US in their place and securing economic/military security in the area?

I know people have talked about Britain establishing a Native American state around the Great Lakes region, but I don't know how likely that is. Demilitarisation of the Great Lakes themselves is likely on the table, but what about the Ohio Territory? Did Britain still have any claim to any of it, or did they pretty much no longer care about it now that the USA was independent and flexing its muscles?
