The War of 1812 was fought because England was fighting with our vessels at sea and England was arming the Indian Tribes in the west and in Florida and encouraging them to attack settlements. The War Hawks opposing England's arming of the Indians joined with the shippers of the East and declared war on England. At the same time, the United States wanted to conquer Canada. England was busy in Europe fighting Napoleon. When the British Army was otherwise occupied seemed like a good time to try to conquer Canada.
