Why does this objective matter? Presidents Washington, Adams, and Jefferson had all worked hard to avoid war with Britain and France. But finally, in 1812, the United States had enough…they declared war on Britain.

1. New Vocabulary Nationalism: pride in one’s country War Hawks: Those eager and ready to fight England Blockade: shutting a port or road to prevent the movement of people or supplies from coming in or out (typically occurs during war times) Secede: withdraw

2. Moving toward WAR with England….Again In the election of 1808, Democratic-Republicans seat both the president and vice president: James Madison(122) and George Clinton(122) Tensions between the US and Britain were high when Madison took office (for OBVIOUS reasons) Americans remained angry that Britain continued to arm natives, impress US soldiers, and seize US merchant ships It also simply came down to the issue of nationalism and defending our country’s honor and pride

3. Declaring War In June of 1810, Congress declared war on Britain War came at a bad time for England, they were still at war with France! But, it soon became apparent the Jefferson's military cuts had weakened our military strength We were down to only 16 warships..during the war 15 would be out of commission, leaving only one the USS Constitution England made the first move in the early days of the war by blockading the American coast with their navy Old Ironside

4. Major War Events USS Constitution defeats British warship Guerriere in a fierce sea battle Americans under General William Hull invaded Canada from Detroit and suffered a serious defeat British attacked the nation’s capital at DC in August of The White House and many government buildings were burned, Americans were astonished troops could not defend the capital Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner on the back of an old envelope on the morning after the British attack on Fort McHenry, which became our national anthem

5. The War’s End By 1814, Britain had grown tired of war Peace talks began in Ghent, Belgium On Christmas Eve of 1814, the two countries signed the Treaty of Ghent which ended the war The treaty simply returned things to the way they were prior to the war To some Americans the war was the “Second War of Independence” and once and for all secured our separation from England The war of 1812 American entered a new era of confidence with a new found period of unity and calm.
