How did the war of 1812 effect the us expantion?

Answer 1

The politicians known as the War Hawks, who stampeded Madison into attacking a neighbouring country, felt that forcibly annexing Canada would be, in the words of Jefferson, "a mere matter of marching."

The invasion was decisively defeated by a mix of British regulars, Canadian militia, and natives, and was chased back across the border and beyond, surrendering Detroit, Buffalo, and Fort Dearborn (Chicago).

It was the second failed attempt to take Canada. The Continental Army had attempted a similar invasion in 1775.

An American victory would have ended the possibility of a nation called Canada, but that nation not only prevented the US from expanding north, it eventually prevented westward expansion by the USA above the 49th parallel, and, eventually, left the US as the second largest country on the continent, thwarting the notion of "Manifest Destiny," which held that the US jad a "God-given' right to own the entire continent.

The War did, however, with the death of Tecumseh, effectively end the alliance between the British and natives, leaving the US free to invade the natives' homeland to the west of the US.
