War of 1812

* Federalist & DR schism remained central to American politics, through Presidents Jefferson & Madison
* Long dissatisfaction w/ French & British blockades & Impressment
* 1807 British attacked a US Warship in Chesapeake Bay
* US reacted w/ embargoes for the next two years – virtually shutting down the US commerce w/Europe
* 1809 French agreed to respect the American ships at sea
* British did not
* "war hawks" were mainly concentrated in the south & west
* Westerners had less to fear from British – they could gain Canada & remove Indians who allied themselves w/England
* Declaration of War was a close vote – referred to as Mr. Madison’s war in New England – MA, Conn. & RI voted against permitting their militia to fight
* MA governor called for a public fast to bemoan a war "against the nation from which we are descended"
* Most of the land fighting involved the US trying to take Canada
* Little success in "liberating" Canada, the US even lost Detroit & Ft. Dearborn for a time
* 1814 British invade NY, burning buildings in Washington DC
* British made demands – as the price for peace: a huge buffer state for Indians (WI, IL, IN, OH, & MI), reassert British rights to the Mississippi River & Great Lakes
* But, Baltimore stood – subject of the lyrics for the National Anthem & the British suffered a naval defeat on Lake Champlain
* Last major battle was Jan. 1815 when A. Jackson defeated the British, who were trying to take New Orleans (a month after a peace treaty was signed)
* In the end, the old boundaries were restored & Indian Allies were left w/o protection
* Federalists, who used the war to promote their re-emergence, were left w/ treasonous accusations as their talk of succession was over-run w/ nationalist pride
* 1816 & 1820 James Monroe (DR) 1824 John Q. Adams (DR) won the presidency – US was almost a ONE political party system

The US claims they never lost a war... even though Canada burned their capital down.

Mr Forman,
You continue to impress me with how well rounded you are. Nice summery of the War of 1812 if I do say so. You might even have passed my American History Class!

how did you know about that

**maniclion** · 12-09-2005, 01:12 PM

It was declared right after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor Richard Nixon had been in Negotiations with Stalin during the Louisana Purchase so we had to redirect our troops from the Mexican war at the Alamo where Custer had just recovered from a bad case of the runs after eating a psychedelic quesadilla. With help from a rogue band of mercenary soldiers called the Wolverines lead by Patrick Swayze we were able to thwart the Russian invasion of the Northern states and bring peace and beer to the Canadians but small squabbles continued to flare up now and then like the time John Candy under the Alias of Sheriff Bud B. Boomer took President Alan Alda too serious and started his own little war against the Hosers.
