The basic causes of the War of 1812 were economic, commercial, territorial, and part bluff. A group in Congress lead by Henry Clay, known as the "War Hawks" wanted to invade Canada and make it part of the United States. Many westerners felt the British were arming the Indians and encouraging them to attack the western settlements. The War Hawks were supported in the West and South. Because of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, our commercial rights as a neutral on the high seas were being infringed upon by France and England. Great Britain also practiced the policy of impressment, stopping American ships and claiming that some sailors were British deserters from the British navy and forcing them to serve on British war ships. they also wanted there bubble gum. yes there bubble gum.
