Who did the us go to war with in 1812?

Answer 1

In the month of June on the year 1812, the war of 1812 was started, and Britain and America clashed once more. In this war, the newly made White House was burned down. Here is the story: to sum it up, there was a fort name Fort Washington. During the war, spies had uncovered that the British would send ships down the Potomac and attack D.C. The people at Fort Washington quickly devised a plan: they would send a large chain across the river just under the waters edge, so the ships could not see, and when the ships hit them, the bottoms would be torn off and the ships would sink, the Potomac becoming a whole FLEET'S graveyard. However, the night of the attack, everyone was invited to a party to celebrate the cunning and clever plan. They put up the chain and waited. And waited. And waited. They then saw black smoke rising from D.C. through the fog of the night. They then realized... they had been too late. The ships had gotten through before they put the put the chain up. The White House burned.

Answer 2

On June 18, 1812, American President James Madison declared war on Great Britain. Lacking naval power, the Americans tried to take Upper and Lower Canada. The Canadian Governor General, Georges Prevost had few means to defend the colonies; nor could he rely on the loyalty of their inhabitants, which was far from assured. Nevertheless, the British had good officers, such as Major Isaac Brock. They could also count on an Native alliance led by Tecumseh, who was seeking to create a grand alliance of Native Nations. Certain individuals stood out in this conflict, such as Isaac Brock and Laura Secord for the English side and Charles-Michel de Salaberry for the French. This war created a number of symbols and had a profound impact on all parties. Some writers attribute the British victory of 1812 to the efficiency of the militia and to the union of French and English against a common enemy. It also enabled Canada to affirm the loyalty of its inhabitants to Great Britain. For the Americans, it was a second American Revolution. The real losers in this conflict were the Native peoples, who lost their independence as a result of American expansion.
