There were mixed reactions from Americans about the War of Some Democratic-Republican supporters of Madison welcomed the war, encouraged supporting the war, and expected a quick victory. Others felt President Madison had dragged the United States into an unnecessary war that would cost money and lives for an unneeded expanding of the country.

The British were surprised the the U.S. declared war on them. They had been violating our neutrality since we had become a nation and did not necessarily know how negatively their trading with the Native Americans was being seen by Americans.

At the beginning of the War of 1812, the U.S. had only 16 frigates and a total of 20 navy warships. This was no match for the large number British ships blockading our ports.
The army was poorly trained and badly equipped with old and outdated guns and uniforms. The generals were old and had either never fought or not fought in a long time.
To try to build up the army, America offered volunteers a bounty (signing bonus) of cash and the promise of a piece of land when their service was finished. Many young Americans signed up but they were not trained well and some deserted (quit).

Most of the early fighting in the War of 1812 happened at sea because the U.S. did not have a very big army, it took a while to get to the Ohio River Valley and Canada, and most British soldiers were in Europe fighting against France.

In a sea battle off the coast of Canada, the U.S.S. Constitution beat the HMS Guerrière.
British cannon balls bounced off the sides of the U.S.S. Constitution earning it the nickname “Old Ironsides”.
While America only had a few ships, our ships often had better trained naval captains. Most of Britain’s best navy admirals were busy against France.
The U.S. frigates were also faster and easier to maneuver.

The Canadian colonists did not have the same complaints with their British colonizers as the Americans had just years earlier when we fought a revolutionary war with Britain. Britain was more far with the Canadian colonies and allowed them some say in the government. So, most Canadian colonists stayed loyal to Britain and fought against America.

But when he first arrived, there were very few ships worthy of a navy on Lake Erie, so he had to put together his own fleet, building two larger ships from scratch.
