Not so. Imagine if the 1812 Battle of New Orleans had been a British victory, New Orleans would be called "Walborough on the Sea" and we'd be able to get a decent cup of tea in the Southern states instead of that iced gunk.
You see? Might-have-beens are a significant addition to the history

Only problem is that the batle of N.O. was fought in 1815 AFTER the peace had been signed, so Martin's future was not a possibility. On the other hand, had the British won, we Americans might have been spared the Presidency of the military blow-hard Andrew Jackson, and Americans might have noticed that they LOST the War of 1812, instead of Republican politicians getting away with claiming victory!
