One significant factor in the War of 1812 was British interference with American trade and maritime rights, particularly their practice of impressment, where British naval forces forcibly recruited American sailors. Additionally, the United States sought to expand its territory, with tensions rising over British support for Native American resistance against American expansion in the Northwest Territory. These issues, combined with national pride and the desire to assert independence, contributed to the outbreak of the war.

Why is the War of 1812 often called the 'Second War of Independence'?

England had not entirely recognized the independence of the United States prior to the War of 1812. They considered American sailors to still be subjects of the English crown, who could be seized on the high seas and drafted into the English navy. After the War of 1812, that practice ceased.
