22. In 1812 America and Britain went to war. Leading up to this time was a point of bloodshed, belligerent acts, and again political issues. At first the United States was not ready for combat. Although we declared war on Britain we were not equipped for such an extensive battle. We had only 16 battle ships to accommodate Britishes huge fleet. We were meager, ill furnished, and many of our officers knew about warfare. We were not ready. But one the money came and flowed in for the equipment we needed and the more little battles we won against Britain, the stronger we got. We were able to win victories for Lake Erie and New Orleans. We had our national anthem written and our flag held high to say that we won the battles. Without this war, we
pd.2 The War Of 1812 In the War of 1812, the Us went up against the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain. In a conflict that would impacted on the young country’s future. The immediate causes of the war of 1812 were a series of economic sanctions taken by the british and french against the us as part of the napoleonic wars and american outrage at the british practice of the impressment especially after the chesapeake incident of 1807.
Thanks to our amazing General Wolfe who came up with the brilliant idea to send up his soldiers to scale the steep cliff and attack Quebec on the western side. We might not Britain’s Victorious have won the war. Until the French decided to not wait for their reinforcements and fought Britain. Since we had trained men, who knew how to fight and the French had militia. They
The people who took place in these battles had the biggest impacts because they had the courage to band together and keep fighting the opposed threats from Britain. Lastly, the underlying theme shown is confidence, and how it slowly built up in the American spirit time to time. Even when it looked as rough as possible and civilization in the backcountry was all but safe, there were little victories such as keeping the land, surviving an enemy raid, or defeating a small militia in which these Americans gained more confidence in order to win the
The British had over 243,000 soldiers and 500 active warships. With that amount

Nathaniel Gies (1748940) Proving a Nation and a Lasting Peace Historians differ in opinion on the true significance of the War of 1812. Some say it wasn’t even a war, but rather a minor portion of Britain’s war with Napoleon and that did little to develop their former colony. Others say it was one of the most important events in establishing the United States in the world. But what was the true long-term impact of the War of 1812 on the United States?
Over time people have fought for many reasons. Their beliefs helped shaping the outcome of their battles. In America’s history, there has been many wars. We got our independence by fighting in the Revolutionary War. In the War of 1812, we fought off the British again.
Although, the British had some success in the beginning of the strategy to take hold of Charleston and Savannah, they had met their match when it came to the Continental Army. Their guerrilla and hit-and-run tactics, forced the British to chase them around, depleting their supplies and their manpower. Moreover, the British overestimated the amount of Loyalists that occupied the south, and ended up creating more enemies by freeing Black slaves who escaped to British-controlled territory, and by taking food from farmers. Also, the British underestimated the operational problems they would engage in, especially when their men were away from their supplies in the interior. On the other hand, the Continental Army were well supplied, and had the advantage of being able to hide among the local people.
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.
Holding West Point meant that the Americans were able to stop the British from splitting the colonies in two. And lastly, at Yorktown, the
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”
In the beginning, our nation- as any new nation would start- got off shaky. With tensions high in Britain, casually spreading to other European countries, trade was difficult. Not only was trade difficult, but preventing rebellion from having to form a new government no one knew how to use was also a struggle. Though we had these problems, our nation’s people persevered through the hard times. Our nation obviously overcame the new problems we faced to become one of the strongest nations in the world.
The United states allies helped in the U.S winning the war. The allies that helped us win the war was British, Soviet Union, France and many other countries like Australia. The British gave the United States a lease for 99 years to territories in the Newfoundland’s, and the Caribbean. They gave us long term access to British
Many of these battles were defeated by the British and almost caused America a great lost. One of the major messages conveyed in this book, is that even though America was defeated many times by the British in the battles, it never stopped them from continuing to fight for what they wanted and changing in addition to creating new military tactics/strategies that would help them win the
