The US was still a new nation. Other than the Indian Wars, the War of 1812 was the US's first war. They did not have a strong Navy and they were tight on money. The New Englanders didn't want to have the war because they didn't want to have more land belonging to the US. They thought that through the war we would gain land and through having all that extra land they would lose power
