Santa Barbara, Calif.: ABC-CLIO, 1997. xxxvii, 636 pp. $95.00. ISBN 0-87436-968-1. The War of 1812 was a complicated affair. Its origins lay in the byzantine world of European diplomacy, its military campaigns resulted in more frustrating draws than astounding victories, and its end resolved none of its causes. Nevertheless, the war was important because it demonstrated the need for a strong federal government, it stirred a great upswell in nationalism, and it helped spark the economic explosion that historians have come to call the market revolution. Despite the war's importance, however, it has fallen by the wayside in American historiography. Historians often view it as either the end of the New Republic or the beginning of the Age of Jackson. David and Jeanne Heidler's important book, Encyclopedia of the War of 181Z lets the war stand alone in all of its complexities.

    Extractions: Old war's victims forgotten no longer [Privateers of War of 1812 buried in Halifax] Colin Nickerson, Boston Globe Staff, 5/12/2000 Halifax, Nova Scotia - Except for the name, there is nothing to suggest the sad history of Deadman's Island . No plaques, no crosses, no mounds. Just 2.5 acres of forlorn bogland surmounted by a spruce knoll. The site isn't even a true island but a spit of land jutting into Halifax Harbor's Northwest Arm. But in this unhallowed ground, forgotten by the country that sent them off to fight, lie the bodies of 188 American sailors and soldiers taken prisoner by British regulars and Canadian colonial forces during the War of 1812 ''No doubt their loved ones wept, but they seem to have vanished from the memory of the US,'' said Guy MacLean, a leader of the Northwest Arm Heritage Association and one of the Halifax residents whose recent fight to save Deadman's Island from development ended up pricking the conscience of American veterans groups and, finally, the US government. ''What started as a very local controversy over this land became a history lesson that reverberated on both sides of the border,'' MacLean said.

Summary: The War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American naval traditions. The following entries were taken from the War of 1812 section of the MultiEducator CD Rom entitled: "New Nation: America 1787-1820"

    Extractions: Chapter 6 THE WAR OF 1812 Extracted from AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY ARMY HISTORICAL SERIES OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY CHAPTER 6 The War of 1812 To Great Britain the War of I8I2 was simply a burdensome adjunct of its greater struggle against Napoleonic France. To the Canadians it was clearly a case of naked American aggression. But to the Americans it was neither simple nor clear. The United States entered the war with confused objectives and divided loyalties and made peace without settling any of the issues that had induced the nation to go to war. Origins of the War The immediate origins of the war were seizure of American ships, insults and injuries to American seamen by the British Navy, and rapid expansion of the American frontier. The British outrages at sea took two distinct forms. One was the seizure and forced sale of merchant ships and their cargoes for allegedly violating the British blockade of Europe. Although France had declared a counterblockade of the British Isles and had seized American ships, England was the chief offender because its Navy had greater command of the seas. The second, more insulting, type of outrage was the capture of men from American vessels for forced service in the Royal Navy. The pretext for impressment was the search for deserters, who, the British claimed, had taken employment on American vessels. The reaction in the United States to impressment differed from that aroused by the seizure of ships and cargoes. In the latter case the maritime interests of the eastern seaboard protested vigorously and demanded naval protection, but rather than risk having their highly profitable trade cut off by war with England they were willing to take an occasional loss of cargo. Impressment, on the other hand, presented no such financial hardship to the shipowners, whatever the consequences for the unfortunate seamen, and the maritime interests tended to minimize it.

The Miami decided on creating a buffer zone between them and the Americans and they invited the Shawnee to permanently settle in an area north of the Ohio River. For the first time in the memory of the Shawnee, they had a homeland. However, their nomadic heritage led them to continue wandering about from time to time, but the majority of them remained in the area north of the Ohio River. Tecumseh believed that Americans were weakening the Indians. He saw the problems that liquor caused among the Indians, and he knew first hand that the desire for furs was decreasing the number of animals in the forest. Tecumseh abhorred the turning away from the Indian way and wanted the Indians to return to their previous way of existence, one of living off the land and not at the mercy of traders. Tecumseh, while recognizing the gunpowder and the rifle as powerful weapons, believed that the tomahawk and the bow and arrow were the true weapons of the Indians. Tecumseh knew that Indians could not manufacture lead or gunpowder and had to rely on traders for their hand-outs. Tecumseh did not want the Indians to have to rely on anyone at anytime.

     Extractions: Welcome to the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Historic Preservation Study website. Congress authorized the study in 1996 because many historic sites of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 are at risk from rapid urban or suburban development. The goals of the study are 1) to gather current information about the significance of, current condition of, and threats to the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 sites, and 2) to present preservation and interpretation alternatives for the sites. Through research and public comments, the NPS identified 2,742 sites of known battle actions and historic places associated with both wars. The study Advisory Committee determined that 811 sites represent the principal historic events of the two wars. With our public and private partners, the NPS surveyed each of the principal sites ( Scope and Research Methodology ). These sites are found in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Data gathered during field surveys will help the NPS evaluate the current level of preservation at these sites and make recommendations for further protection and interpretation.
