The War of 1812 MRS. INGRAM

Gearing Up for War  Jefferson ended the embargo just before he left office in  Congress replaced it with the Nonintercourse Act of  Trade would resume with whomever lifted shipping restrictions on the U.S.  A year later, Macon’s Bill #2 was passed to further entice trade.  Not only would the U.S. resume trade with the country who lifted restrictions, but they would refuse to trade with the opposing country.

Conflict with Native Americans  Conflict in the western territories had been growing and the British were still supplying Native Americans with weapons.  The Native Americans distrusted the U.S. government, so they turned to Britain as an ally.  The Native Americans were led by the warrior Tecumseh, who sought to recruit supporters across the U.S.  Ultimately, William Henry Harrison emerged as a military leader at the Battle of Tippecanoe. This would be the first major victory against Native Americans in the War of 1812.

War Hawks  Young politicians who called for war were known as War Hawks. These men wanted to pursue war as a means of regaining national honor lost by impressment.  They believed attacking Canada was the best option because it was sparsely populated and it would cut off the weapons supply to Native Americans in the West.  Once they had taken Canada, they believed it could be used as leverage to gain greater maritime access.

War Breaks Out  Madison asked Congress for a declaration of war in June, The country was divided over war, though, so it did not have overwhelming support.  Successes  defeat over the Native Americans; naval victories (esp. on Lake Erie)  Failures  were never able to invade Canada; were forced to surrender Detroit at the beginning of the war; British burned Washington D.C.

Significant Battles  Battle of Fort McHenry  After the British had burned D.C., they turned their attention to Baltimore (where Fort McHenry was located). They were unable to capture the fort.  This is the battle were Francis Scott Key penned the poem which would later become the Star Spangled Banner.

Significant Battles  Battle of New Orleans  Considered the greatest victory of the War of 1812; took place in January of 1815… the war had been over for two weeks.  Andrew Jackson became a noted war veteran for the heavy casualties suffered by the British (2,036 to 71).

Treaty of Ghent  Both sides’ military failures made it difficult to justify continuing as the war progressed.  The two sides decided to revert to prewar boundaries, with each side ‘returning’ territory seized during the war.  They also agreed to set up a commission to settle all further boundary disputes.  Many Americans saw the Treaty of Ghent as an outright victory because news came so quickly after word of Jackson’s victory at New Orleans.

Hartford Convention  During the war, many New England Federalists spoke out openly against the war.  They convened in Hartford to discuss whether or not they should secede and make peace with Britain on their own.  Instead of secession, they demanded amendments be put in place to strengthen the power of New England states.  Their demands were received just as the war ended– making them laughable to the American public.  Support for the Federalist Party declined and in a few years, the party no longer existed.

Cause and Effect of the War of 1812 Causes  Britain interfered with U.S. shipping  British interference in American expansion westward (arming Native Americans)  Southerners want Florida (held by Britain’s ally, Spain)  War Hawks want Britain completely out of N. America Effects  Demonstrated a need for a strong standing army/navy  Spurred American nationalism  Eventual demise of the Federalist Party  Eventual acquisition of Florida
