successfully invaded and burned down the White House in Washington, D.C. in 1814. This event, known as the Burning of Washington, dealt a significant blow to American morale and symbolized the vulnerability of the young nation.

The War of 1812 had a positive impact on trading in the US in several ways. Firstly the US was able to gain more economic freedom from Great Britain which had been blocking US trading with France. This allowed the US to trade with France and other countries leading to increased economic growth. Additionally the war led to the establishment of protective tariffs in the US which enabled the US to protect its domestic industry from competition from foreign goods. This helped to ensure that US businesses could compete on a level playing field with foreign businesses. Finally the war led to the establishment of the US Navy which provided protection for US trading ships in the Atlantic and Caribbean allowing US merchants to safely conduct trade without fear of attack.

Jefferson wanted to avoid war. He asked Congress to pass the Non-Intercourse Act. The plan failed to play France and Britain against each other. Later Napoleon announced France would no longer restrict American trade. U.S. declared war on Great Britain.

Nationalist diplomacy, economic nationalism, and judical nationalism.

The Treaty of Ghent represented a return to conditions as they were prior to the War of 1812.

There were no methods of instant communication like the internet, telephones, or telegraphs...And word that the war was over had not yet reached New Orleans

General Andrew Jackson was in charge of defending New Orleans from an assault by the British. Several of his actions before any conflict were not popular. Jackson imposed strict martial law on the city of New Orleans. This civil unrest was made more complicated by Baratarian pirates led by jean Lafitte. Because Jackson needed all the troops he could find, he reached an agreement with Lafitte to help defend New Orleans. Lafitte had been offered a deal by the British but considered it to be too small, and turned the British offers down.

Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry fought the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813, successfully defeating a Royal Navy task force.

Some of the most famous Navy quotes came from Perry during this battle:

"If a victory is to be gained, I will gain it" (at the outset of the battle)

"We have met the enemy and they are ours" (message sent after the victory, the full message being "We have met the enemy and they are ours: "We have met the enemy and they are ours; two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop")

During the US Civil War, New Orleans was the largest Confederate city in the deep South. By the middle of 1861, the Union had a blockade near New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River. By December of 1861, Admiral Farragut and David Porter organize a fleet of 17 warships and 19 gunboats set up to launch a major assault on New Orleans. Confederate forts defending the city are bombarded by cannon fire from the Union fleet. The Southern defenses prove no match for the assault. And by April 25, 1862 the Union fleet, anchored at New Orleans' front door forces the city to surrender.

James Secrest died on November 18, 1987, in New York City, New York, USA.

The Star-Spangled Banner was written during the War of 1812, by Sir Frances Scott Key. In the battle of Fort McHenry, during a rough battle with British naval ships. However, through all the rubble of the battle, the flag was still there. This is a patriotic song, first written as a poem epic, that touched the hearts of early Americans. It was later put to music, and was finalized as America's national anthem on March 3, 1931.

Tecumseh was one of the Indian leaders in the war of 1812. He believed that the settlers had no right in claiming land; that it was land for all of the tribes to share. He ended up dying in Canada after going into a treaty with Britain.

Tecumseh's role was to rally tribes and convince them to ally with the British against the US.

The significance is in the war of 1812. America proved itself an independent nation, able to defend itself.

it contributed to british identy by showing that the british didn't do anything for the Americans, but that they did fight a lot for heir country. it didn't give the Americans a good view on the British, the Americans then saw them as power hungry fools that would do anything for wealth, while really, that is a very accurate representation of the Americans then, and now.

Born in what is now the state of West Virginia, in the town of Clarksburg, Thomas Jonathan Jackson possessed a strong military background at the outbreak of the Civil War. His training in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, recognition as a hero in the Mexican War, and his experience as an instructor at the Virginia Military Institutejustified Jackson's rank of brigadier general at the first major battle of the Civil War near Manassas, Virginia. Upon that field, General Bernard E. Bee proclaimed, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall," and a legend as well as a nickname was born.

Jackson's military feats had elevated him to near mythical proportions, in both North and South, when in the midst of one of his most brilliant maneuvers, he was mistakenly shot by his own men on the night of May 2, 1863 at the The Battle of Chancellorsville. Confederate army commander Robert E. Lee decided that his indispensable and most capable subordinate should recuperate in a safe place well behind friendly lines. He selected this area, Guinea Station, as the best location for Jackson because of its proximity to the railroad to Richmond and its familiarity to the wounded general.

The British empire invaded Canada so as to make it part of its empire. Canada did not want this and they stayed under the British rule up to 1817.

Yes, many historians believe that the leading motive for the War of 1812 was the western desire for land expansion.

After the War of 1812, there were many new factories built in the North. New York, Delaware, and New Jersey were some of the first states that had a high concentration of factories in the early part of the Industrial Revolution.
