Oh, yes. Among other schemes, there were plans to annex Maine and rename it New Ireland. They were almost successful during the War of 1812. There were also plans to annex Vermont and northern New York. And a Native American state consisting of the American Northwest north of the Greenville Treaty line would have administratively been part of Canada.
Buster Brown, I've read, made several trips around the northern US in disguise in order to gain concrete intelligence about American assets.
The only scenario that I can envision for War Plan Red and Defense Scheme No. 1 being implemented would be if the British Empire decided to completely shut down neutral shipping to the Central Powers during World War I. In the highly unlikely event of the Royal Navy blowing up neutral American merchant ships, the US could have entered the war on the side of the Central Powers.
