WI : No war of 1812?

Probably we would see a stronger Native American presence in North American affairs in the 19th century. After the War of 1812, the Native Peoples, even acting in a coalition with each other were effectively done as a power that could temper European/American expansion westward.

I'd say they get an extra decade at best, they were on their last legs as a cohesive force as was prior to the war, without open war between Britain and the USA the Brits won't back them to the hilt and they ground down by demographics just like OTL, just at a different date and maybe a different Indian War.
 
Here's an interesting idea -- how does this PoD affect the war in Europe? Apparently, war with the U.S. was the only thing that kept Britain from sending an expeditionary force to the Baltic during Napoleon's invasion of Russia; how would that change the War of the Sixth Coalition and subsequent peace?

Thinking about the geography of such an expedition, if Bernodette found some way to coordinate Swedish efforts with the British, and if Denmark continues to hold to their alliance with France, he might be able to pull off an earlier invasion of Norway with Copenhagen distracted. Actually, I do wonder how Prussia, and various other German states allied to Napoleon at this time, would respond -- it could be Britain intervening actually makes subsequent cooperation between the allies more, not less, difficult.
