Two main reasons have been given:
1) During the Napoleonic Wars, British military routinely came aboard U.S. ships on the high seas and "impressed" (ie, seized) sailors from the latter. Americans viewed this as little better than piracy; the Brits insisted they were simply taking back deserters from their own ships.
2) For decades, Britain had been giving arms to natives at war with the U.S.
In addition, many Americans thought that Canada was ripe for conquest and that American honor required a war. Although neither were officially given as justifications, those who held these views were the most enthusiastic in demanding that war be declared.
James Madison asked Congress to declare war on Britain in 1812.

Great Britain and the United States were allies to defeat Germany so the US would not attack Great Britain.
