It may have been a jab against Madison by his detractors, to imply that he was responsible for starting the war, or at the least not doing what he could have done to avoid it. Or it may have been simply because James Madison was the US President for the entire duration of the war. The causes of this war are obscure, and it might not have happened if not for a respite in The Napoleonic Wars, but people had to identify it in some way, such as naming it after the President, or the year in which it began.
