d. Summary of the war of 1812- include battles of Canada, US, and at
sea
i. A war between the U.S. and Great Britain caused by American
outrage over the impressment of American sailors by the British,
the British seizure of American ships, and British aid to the Indians
attacking the Americans on the western frontier. Also, a war against
Britain gave the U.S. an excuse to seize the British northwest posts
and to annex Florida from Britain's ally Spain, and possibly even to
seize Canada from Britain. The War Hawks (young westerners led
by Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun) argued for war in Congress.
The war involved several sea battles and frontier skirmishes. U.S.
troops led by Andrew Jackson seized Florida and at one point the
British managed to invade and burn Washington, D.C. The Treaty of
Ghent (December 1814) restored the status quo and required the
U.S. to give back Florida. Two weeks later, Andrew Jackson's troops
defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans, not knowing that
a peace treaty had already been signed. The war strengthened
American nationalism and encouraged the growth of industry.
