First of all, it was a war "sold" to an America bitterly divided about the wisdom of the conflict.

That's a statement that applies to all wars though. WW I, WW II, and the Vietnam War come to mind real fast. Students protested World War II. A good percentage of Americans argued for years that the US should enter the war on the German side.
Even the Revolutionary War was "bitterly divided". I'd venture to guess you would find a lot of people opposed to the War of 1812 too and yet I've never read such a thing.
