We will focus on three men who helped to support and drive the War of 1812.
We will first talk about the American leader William Hull and the American
motivations for the war. Then, we will focus on the British leader Isaac Brock and
his First Nations allies lead by Tecumseh. All three men were very important
leaders in the war; each had different motivations and reasons for the war.
As you learn about each leader, fill out the open mind worksheet to understand
each leader's perspective. Fill the head outline with small pictures and words
that summarize each leader's perspective. Each worksheet will be worth 5
points.
