Upon entering the War of 1812, the United States faced two major obstacles: a lack of military preparedness and internal divisions. The U.S. military was relatively small and poorly equipped compared to the British forces, which had a well-trained army and strong naval presence. Additionally, there were significant political divisions, particularly between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, leading to inconsistent support for the war effort and hampering national unity. These factors hindered the U.S. ability to effectively wage war against a more experienced opponent.
