What were the underlying cause of the War of 1812?
On June 1, America declared war on Britain for a number of reasons: outrage at the impressment (seizure) of thousands of American sailors, frustration at British restrictions on neutral trade while Britain warred with France and anger at Britian's military support for tribes in the Ohio-Indiana-Michigan area. One faction in Congress desired the conquest of Canada, while the British were occupied in their war with France, in the belief that if they were sufficiently weakened Canada would be easily overcome.[5] This group was a minority, but another faction opposing impressment of seamen contributed sufficient votes to pass a bill declaring war by the smallest margin that had ever been recorded on a war vote in the United States Congress.[6] On May 11, Prime Minister Spencer Perceval was shot and killed by an assassin resulting in a change of the UK government putting Lord Liverpool in power. Liverpool was for a more practical relation with the United States. A repeal of the impressment orders were issued but the US was unaware as it took three weeks for the news to cross the Atlantic.[6] After war was declared, Britain offered to rescind the trade restrictions, but it was too late to appease the American "War Hawks", who portrayed the conflict as a "second war for independence."[citation needed] In addition to the stated reasons for going to war, a major goal of the War Hawks in the western and southern states was aggressive territorial expansion. The intent was to drive the British out of North America, and the Spanish out of Florida.[7]
Did other countries support either side in the civil war?
Mainly it was Great Britain and France. Recognition of the CSA by either would have made it difficult for the north to continue the war; by both would have virtually won the war for the south. G.B. desired the cotton the south produced, but needed the food the north produced But France wasn't going to do it without Britain, because it was embroiled in a foreign adventure in Mexico attempting to get a Habsburg prince enthroned as ruler.
Why was is necessary for the confederacy to seek the support of Great Britain and France?
AnswerThe south thought Britain would help because the south was selling their cotton to them but Britain refused because they could get it from somewhere else(Egypt) We did get some from Egypt, but mostly from India. This meant that despite the Union blockade, the supply of cottton to the Northern industrial towns such as Manchester and Birmingham actually increased. After this, there could be no gain for the British in supporting the Confederacy, and because of poor harvests in England during the American Civil War, the British needed Northern corn to feed the people, and so they simply let the war take its course.I don't know why the South tried to receive help from France, they had no stake in it what so ever(New contributor...) The French wanted influence in Mexico, and it would have suited them if there were a new nation, pro-French, in-between Mexico and the USA.
