A loss for the simple reason that we got both The Star Spangled Banner and Andrew Jackson as a result of it.

Fixed.

But seriously, I voted draw.

Obviously you are tone deaf.  To be fair Francis Scott Key didn't pair up his poem with that tune, and that tune isn't bad for a singer trying to show their chops, but it's horrible for an anthem intended to be widely sung.

America stopped having sailors impressed for foreign navies, so that's a plus.

That was more because with the Napoleonic Wars at an end, the Royal Navy no longer needed to impress sailors to fill the ranks.

still, the Brits never tried that one again though, did they?

They never had the need again.  By the time their next major naval war was fought, their limiting factor in naval war was capital, not labor.

I'd prefer to draw this but it wouldn't be appropriate for this forum.
