23. A History Of The War Of 1812 history of war – Canada before the war of 1812 From the time of the american Revolution until the war of 1812, the main trading centres in Lower Canada http://www.hamilton-scourge.city.hamilton.on.ca/war1812.htm

From the time of the American Revolution until the War of 1812, the main trading centres in Lower Canada were Quebec and Montreal; in Upper Canada, Kingston and Niagara (and later York ) were the main ports. For the most part, Upper Canada was administered by British army officers who were based at Fort Niagara Fort York Fort George Fort Erie , and Kingston . The lands were largely wilderness, and the condition of the few roads made land travel difficult. Mrs. Simcoe (wife of Colonel John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada) described them as "that terrible kind of road where the Horses’ feet are entangled among the logs amid water and swamps". As a result, most travel took place along the waterways of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence. In the years between the American Revolution and the War of 1812, many Loyalists (colonists who were loyal to the King) made their way north from the United States to settle in the Canadas and other colonies, in part responding to the Crown’s policy of land grants for Loyalists who swore allegiance to the King. This immigration caused the population of Upper Canada to grow rapidly from 14,000 in 1791 to 90,000 by 1812. The first task for these settlers was to clear the land for settlement. Mrs. Simcoe describes it well: "The way of clearing the land in this Country is cutting down all the small wood, pile it & set it on fire … The settler first builds a log hut covered with bark & after two or three years raises a neat House by the side of it."

24. Background History Of The War Of 1812 history of the war of 1812, background. In retaliation, the american Congress passed the Embargo Act in 1807, which kept american ships at home, http://www.hamilton-scourge.city.hamilton.on.ca/history.htm

Leading up to the War of 1812 After the Americans declared their independence, there was open conflict between the American colonies and Great Britain. The British withheld the West Indian trade from the Americans, and often subjected American vessels to searches for sailors who were ex-British subjects. In retaliation, the American Congress passed the Embargo Act in 1807 , which kept American ships at home, depriving both France and Britain of the American trade of which they had both grown dependent. The Act plunged the country into a depression, and many traders turned to smuggling goods were illegally traded to Canadians, who, being British, were capable of international trade. These further frustrations and the continued restraints imposed by the British on the Americans contributed to a declaration of War by the United States on June 18, 1812. The Americans sought reprieve from the British restraints by ousting the English from North America altogether. To learn about the War of 1812 from beginning to end

Woodson Other Displays Army Army Air Force Assault on Fort Wagner Civil War Soldiers ... For Further Reading I NTRODUCTION This exhibit is not about war. It is about the zealous account of African Americans standing up and being counted as defenders of LIBERTY. This LIBERTY encompasses a vision of basic human rights connected with justice as accorded to all other peoples seeking freedom both inside and outside the territorial bounds of America. American history, at its best, is filled with records of the early colonial settlers searching for a place where the principles of freedom could be expressed and practiced. We are all familiar with the many written proposals, oral discourses, and constitutional provisions which evolved from their democratic ideas. The vibrancy of their words were later put into resolutions which were incorporated into our U. S. Constitution. The early settlers of America spent arduous hours creating a national document which would hopefully spell out the basic ingredients necessary to sustain a unified democracy within this land. From the beginning, these pioneers wanted to establish a worthy place free of restrictions which would not subvert or obstruct the basic foundations of a viable democratic society. Educational, political, social, and religious freedoms were some of the known necessities for the real American way of life in this new country.

Armistead commissioned Mary Pickersgill, a Baltimore flag maker, to sew two flags for the fort: a smaller storm flag (17 by 25 ft) and a larger garrison flag (30 by 42 ft). She was hired under a government contract and was assisted by her daughter, two nieces, and an indentured African-American girl. The War of 1812 and the Burning of Washington Although its events inspired one of our most famous national songs, the War of 1812 is itself a relatively little-known war in American history. Despite its complicated causes and inconclusive outcome, the conflict helped establish the credibility of the young United States among other nations. It also fostered a strong sense of national pride among the American people, and those patriotic feelings are reflected and preserved in the song we know today as our national anthem.

Popular opinion in the South and West clearly favored the conflict. Madison realized, however, that the country was poorly prepared. The United States maintained a weak, scattered army and a navy that was virtually insignificant by comparison to Britain's. The prospects and strategy of the United States left much to be desired.

FRtR Outlines American History (1994) Chapter Four War of 1812 (12/13) An Outline of American History (1994) Chapter Four War of 1812 (12/13) Previous Page Next Page As the country prepared for yet another war with Britain, the United States suffered from internal divisions. While the South and West favored war, New York and New England opposed it because it interfered with their commerce. The declaration of war had been made with military preparations still far from complete. There were fewer than 7,000 regular soldiers, distributed in widely scattered posts along the coast, near the Canadian border and in the remote interior. These soldiers were to be supported by the undisciplined militia of the states. Hostilities between the two countries began with an invasion of Canada, which, if properly timed and executed, would have brought united action against Montreal. But the entire campaign miscarried and ended with the British occupation of Detroit. The U.S. Navy, however, scored successes and restored confidence. In addition, American privateers, swarming the Atlantic, captured 500 British vessels during the fall and winter months of 1812 and 1813. The campaign of 1813 centered on Lake Erie. General William Henry Harrison who would later become president led an army of militia, volunteers and regulars from Kentucky with the object of reconquering Detroit. On September 12, while he was still in upper Ohio, news reached him that Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry had annihilated the British fleet on Lake Erie. Harrison occupied Detroit and pushed into Canada, defeating the fleeing British and their Indian allies on the Thames River. The entire region now came under American control.

World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder War of 1812 , a conflict between Great Britain and the United States, sometimes called "the second war for independence" and "Mr. Madison's war." During the war between France and England starting in 1793, the British put blockades on European ports to restrict American merchant shipping with France. About 1807 the British stepped up impressment of American seamen into their navy. The United States passed the Embargo Act , which banned all exports and limited American shipping to coastal trade. In 1810 a group of young Democratic-Republican congressmen from the West called War Hawks urged that the United States defend itself against the British (who were inciting the Indians along the Great Lakes frontier) and invade Canada. Despite the opposition of the Federalist party , centered in New England, Congress declared war against Great Britain on June 18, 1812. The United States invaded Canada on three fronts, but were unsuccessful. The American navy fared quite well, with USS Constitution defeating HMS Guerrière . In 1813 Capt. Oliver H. Perry won the Battle of Lake Erie and Gen. William Henry Harrison defeated the British and Indians at the Battle of the Thames. In 1814 the British invaded Washington, D.C., forcing President James Madison to flee the city; they burned the White House and other public buildings. The British failed in their attempt to capture Baltimore, and Thomas Macdonough defeated the British at the Battle of Plattsburg Bay on Lake Champlain.

Flagg claimed his illustration, an indelible American icon, had become the most famous poster in the world. An illustrator and portrait artist best known for his commercial art, Flagg contributed forty-six works in support of the war effort during the First World War. Leslie's Weekly first published his picture of Uncle Sam as the cover of the July 6, 1916 issue with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?". Over four million copies were printed between 1917 and 1918. The image was also used extensively during World War II. In 1961, Congress passed a resolution which officially recognized meat packer Samuel Wilson (1766-1854), who supplied meat to the army during the War of 1812, as Uncle Sam's namesake.
