22. The War of 1812 was in my case a mistake because neither side of the war was ready. Britain had also seized american ships and we were being overtaken at Lake Erie by Canada from General Isaac Brock. Though after many failed attempts to take Lake Erie we had won the War of 1812 and gained Lake Erie. Though we won the war, it wasn’t over just two weeks laters the Battle of New Orleans had started but that was a whole different story.
Naturalist John Burroughs once said of his friend Theodore Roosevelt, "Roosevelt was a many-sided man and every side was like an electric battery. Such versatility, such vitality, such thoroughness, such copiousness, have rarely been united in one man.” While many people know Roosevelt the war hero, Roosevelt the President, or Roosevelt the naturalist, his contributions as an author/historian shouldn’t take a back seat to T.R.’s numerous other accomplishments. In The Naval War of 1812, Roosevelt aims to craft the complete unbiased work on the naval combat between the United States of America and Great Britain from 1812-1815. When it was published in 1883 it became an instant sensation in the academic world.

51. Events surrounding the XYZ Affair: In the wake of the French Revolution, relations between the new French Republic and the United States become ever more strained. Three French agents, publicly referred to as X, Y, and Z demanded major concessions from the United States as a condition for continuing bilateral diplomatic relations. 52.
The War of 1812 was an armed conflict between the United States and the British Empire. In an attempt to cut off supplies from reaching the enemy, both sides attempted to block the United States from trading with the other. Significantly, the British restricted the American trade since the British feared that it was detrimental with their war with France. Importantly, the British wanted to set up an Indian state in the Midwest, which is why thousands of Native Americans fought on the side of the British. The Americans condemned the British Empire restricting their trade and taking sailors to serve on the British side.
1812 marks the year President Madison, member of the Democratic-Republican party, asked Congress to declare war on the greatest naval power in the world; Great Britain. The tensions between these two nations came as a result of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The factors of Great Britain forcing impressment and infringing maritime rights, appealing to American nationalism, and President Madison’s political motivations all added up to equal the War of 1812. Since America remained neutral, Britain did everything in their power to assure the United States suffered many costly defeats at the hands of Canadian, Native American, and British troops, and also made trading with the French nearly inaccessible.

a. The War of 1812 was very big and affected many groups of people. One of the reasons why it began was because of Jefferson’s eager decisions to get rid of the Indians and their responses towards that. “Reports that the British were encouraging Tecumseh’s efforts contributed to the coming of the War of 1812.” (Foner 318) The United States and Britain didn’t get along and there were many conflicts between them some of which were related to the Indians. Jefferson wanted the Indians gone and wanted control of their land.
The War of 1812 was more significant for the Canadians. This was for a myriad of reasons. It had lasting consequences on the people, symbolic and historical issues, and the war was more significant and beneficial for the Canadians. Even though the Canadians dealt with extreme hardship, trauma, and loss of family and friends, in the end they came together as a nation and reflected on their own victories. This quote was spoken by Amelia Ryerse who was at the time, a settler living on Niagara-on-the-lake.
The war of 1812 was the first official war declared by the United States, it put to test all the individual and united abilities the people had to offer. It tested their strength and way of handling limited resource among hard times. The cause of the war is mainly obscure to the people’s eyes, because of the lack of solid government authority at the time. It is not clear what the main causes of the war were, but one of the most solid reasons was to restore National honor. During the time, the Americans were in constant confrontation with the Indians.
The War of 1812, also known as the “forgotten” war of 1812 comprised many significant events that shaped our history, such as the battle of Pensacola. It is during this war that the acquisition of Spanish Florida and the many transgressions of this time would transpire. During the War of 1812 the Spanish had ultimate control of Florida, furthermore along with many British, Slaves seeking freedom, as well as Indians also resided there. Although, Slaves as well as Indians worked for and/or were owned by the Spanish settlers, they were ultimately free to roam as they pleased and were given sovereignty to an extent. While, this allowed for peace amongst the Indians, Slaves, and the Spanish, so to speak, it mustered a rebellion amongst the Indians
War of 1812 James Madison is considered to be the "Father of the Constitution," but it was the War of 1812 that defined his presidency. In the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain, in a conflict that would have a great impact on the young country’s future. Causes of the war included British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navy’s capture of American seamen and America’s desire to expand its territory. The United States suffered many costly defeats from the British, Canadian and Native American troops over the course of the War of 1812.
The War of 1812 I believe that the war of 1812 was a non-sense war regardless of their differences that they had to begin with. The British won by large, for the simple reason the United States were not prepared to fight with a more powerful Britain. To fight Britain was not only unnecessary; it was also a fight that the United States was going to lose. The British had a much larger concern in their hands. In France, Napoleon was one of the greatest generals and warriors ever.
The War of 1812 is a war that led to many events in United States history. It was one of the many victories that the United States gained after its independence from Great Britain. Though many do in fact believe that the American victory was not all that much of a celebration. In many of the battles that were fought the United States cut it close.

The war broke down for two years.
Brandon King History 1301 HW 2 8 AM What were the causes and results of the War of 1812? The war of 1812 was yet another war that the United States got caught up with. There were several reasons as to what caused this war to begin. Let 's go back to the year of 1806 when France declared it to be illegal for “all neutral trade with Great Britain”
The Russian Revolution Many may argue that the Russian Revolution was a success or some may say that it was was an extreme failure. The Russian Revolution was a failure for various reasons. The Russian Revolution was a failure because Stalin was a monster, a leader who took advantage of many innocent people and killed them. He was a mass murderer. He used his loyal ones to his own advantage.
