American or British?

Luckily for the US the British had expended much to beat Napoleon and the public after all these years wanted peace. Had Napoleon not been active then the British could put all their force towards keeping America.
I don't think it was lack of capability that prevented the British, parliament had other reasons and issues at the time. Looking back had the British realized the value of America things may have turned out differently? Britain was the largest sea power at the time.
