War England and France at war in 1803 US remained neutral Impressment again Embargo Act 1807 prohibited trade with any foreign countries Hurt US more than England

War Fever Jefferson leaves office, Madison President Madison thought England was a threat, more than France

Ohio River Valley Conflicts with Native Americans Settlers want more land Battle of Tippecanoe won by Americans Now Indians siding with British

War Hawks From the South and West Wanted to go to war with England Strong sense of Nationalism Henry Clay John Calhoun Pressured Congress to strengthen military

Review Questions Who was elected president after Jefferson in 1808? What country was a major threat to the US at this time? France or England? Why were we fighting with Native Americans? Who were war hawks?

Section 4 War of 1812 July 1812 America vs. England and her Native American allies The British would be hard to defeat We were not prepared for war.. Jefferson’s policy of minimizing the military hurt us

War continues 1814 British attacked Washington D.C. British burned buildings and proceeded to Baltimore Francis Scott Key wrote the “Star Spangled Banner” while watching the fire fight over Ft. McHenry

War Ends England concluded that war was too costly and unnecessary Napoleon removed from power Treaty of GhentTreaty of Ghent signed to end war Didn’t change a thing.. Just to have peace Battle of New OrleansBattle of New Orleans occurred after peace treaty Andrew JacksonAndrew Jackson war hero instantly

Nationalism Federalist party lost respect b/c not favoring war with England Strong Nat. government carried on in War Hawks
