eli5 Why didn’t America annex Canada?

336 views

I’m a layperson, but as far as I know, America had the military power to conquer the whole Canadian territory or at least get more land than in our timeline (similar to how they took a huge chunk of Mexico’s territory), right? But they didn’t. I would like to know why. Thank you for your attention in advance.

They tried and failed in the war of 1812. Evidently they didn’t have the military power the just conquer Canada.
