War of 1812

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.

America went to war with the support of the Young war Hawks to annex what is now called cananda

But used the British Blockading us ships to stop them supplying Napoleon

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.

the US to become more independant. The US economy was strenghthened tremendously :)

In 1812, It was the 15 star and 15 stripe Flag. (This flag inspired Francis Scott Key to write 'The Star-Spangled Banner') On April 14, 1818, a plan was passed by Congress in which the flag was changed to have 20 stars, with a new star being added when a new state was admitted, but the number of stripes would be 13, to honor the original colonies.

During the War of 1812, the Napoleonic Wars in Europe distracted British military resources and attention, allowing the United States to better engage in its conflict. Additionally, the British blockade of European ports strained their economy and military capabilities, which indirectly benefited American trade and naval operations. The shift of British focus towards continental conflicts also led to weakened enforcement of maritime policies against American shipping. Furthermore, the emergence of nationalist sentiments in Europe contributed to a broader sympathy for American independence.
