How did the outcome of the war of 1812 affect the federalists and the war hawks?

Answer 1

The outcome of the War of 1812 more or less ended the Federalist Party. They had been in complete opposition to the war, even holding a convention to draft a letter to the president demanding it be brought to an end. As fate would have it, the war had already ended, and a treaty had been signed, but some British battalions hadn't found out about it yet. The British had attempted to capture the city of New Orleans, but were thwarted by pirate, Jean Lafitte, and General Andrew Jackson. The United States victory had been a glorious one, with Andrew Jackson emerging as a hero. The Federalists' anti-war stance now made them look traitorous, and those who had wanted the war were proven right. The Federalist party never recovered from that humiliation.

Answer 2

The outcome of the War of 1812 weakened the federalists party, but the philosophy of a strong national government was carried on by the War Hawks, who were apart of the republican party. Some of the causes of the war were because of British army's taking workers off American ships to work on theirs. Also because the west believed it was Britain's fault for the Indian attack for giving them guns.

Answer 3

In the War of 1812 by the time 1814 rolled around, The War Hawks and The Federalists had conflicting interests. Even though one of the reasons for the war had been the impressment of American sailors, since England had stopped doing it, the Federalists wanted to stop the war. The Federalists were rich merchants and had continued to trade with England in spite of the war. Meanwhile, The War Hawks were still fighting against the Indians. The British had supplied the Indians with guns and ammunition. On March 28, 1814, Andrew Jackson fought and defeated the Indian allies of the British at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Then Andrew Jackson moved south and captured Mobile. At that point, England could no longer supply the Indians with ammunition.
