How Did The War Of 1812 Affect Society

The Treaty of Utrecht was written to give England power over the Iroquois territory and the Hudson Bay region (Conrad & Finkel, 2009). This was a problem for many of the First Nations because France put great efforts into developing alliances with the First Nations through the fur trades that became so strong that familial relationship began to form between the two groups. Because England and France were consistently fighting against each other, it was unsettling for many of the Native peoples to know that their enemy would have power over their territory with this treaty. Unlike the French, the English settlers did not recognize the

The Native Americans biggest conflict was white expansion into their territories. They faced the biggest obstacles after the war, they had no alliances, their biggest alliance was the British who were no longer in the northwest (Brinkley, 211). The Native Americans also had no rights to defend their land. On the other hand, the Americans, and especially the Federalist party, faced serious consequences after the war of 1812. The United States army was defeated by the Great Britain numerous times. As a result, the Federalist government was regarded as unpopular and was oppressed in New England. When The federalists tried to withdraw themselves from New England, they failed which ultimately led to the downfall of

The war of 1812 was important. The U.S and Great Britain had a long war, which was the war of 1812. Which took place in North America, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, gulf coast of the United States, and the east coast of the United States

Unlike the British the US did not spend time trying to make allies with the aboriginal peoples, they rather attempted to expand westward into Aboriginal territories. At the beginning of the war, over 400,000 settlers were moving into the aboriginals land west of the original 13 colonies (The war of 1812). A large amount of settlers that moved west into these territories outnumbered the aboriginal groups severely. Some of the Aboriginals started to assimilate into the white culture, and some start resisted the culture. Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa led the resistance, Tenskwatawa was a prophet. Himself and his brother encouraged Indians to relinquish the ways of the whites, through getting rid of alcohol and manufactured consumer goods (The war of 1812). Tecumseh was more of a belligerent leader always trying to withstand white settlement, “Sell a country, why not sell the air, the great sea, as well the earth? Did not the great spirit make them all for the use of his children(Tecumseh). This quote proves that Tecumseh was against white settlements as he tried to restraint them from over taking his settlement. If the US was able to gain allies with the aboriginal peoples they would have been able to attack Canada at different angles and could have had allies who knew the North territories better, which could have majorly impacted the war. However since the Aboriginal peoples felt that the Americans were not trying to positively influence their culture and they were rather trying to get them to assimilate, they joined forces with Britain to win The War of

The French and Indian War (Seven Years’ War) had a great impact on the course of North American history. In the 1750s, Britain and France had colonies in North America. The war started due to a fight over land; British colonists wanted to expand west passed the Ohio River Valley. The land was originally taken over the French, however the British wanted to extend into the North America interior because this benefitted them with British imports and trading. Not only was the war fought in America but in Europe, the West Indies, the Philippines, and Africa. Due to the vast locations of conflict, many consider this war to be the “first world war”.

some issues raised by the war and it effected the long term growth of the

The war was fought between the British and The French, as I stated, but it wasn’t just them, local native americans helped the two colonists. “What tribes helped these two?” You might ask, well, the British colonists were helped by the Iroquois Indians, and The French were helped by the Hurons

Even though the United States was not in the greatest place both politically and economically, the war of 1812 proved to have great results. These included the ending the British impressment of America ships, as ships were no longer pawns between the British and French. Additionally, the Mississippi River at the gulf of Mexico was finally the jurisdiction of the U.S. Finally, political relations improved significantly between the U.S. and the British which improved their overall economic relations. Overall, when comparing the before and after of some changes, the War of 1812 was important and necessary as the British really didn’t accept America’s Independence and this war essentially forced the British to realize that America was a force to

In June 1812 the Unites States took on the most powerful in the world at the time, Great Britain, this war would not only define James Madison’s presidency but also the future of of the United States. However this war is known as the forgotten war, forgotten by the Americans and the British. On the other hand, it is remembered by the Native Nations and Canada. The big question that comes to mind is who won? Well it’s say to say that both side suffered great losses and great wins and some may say Canada got the upper hand. For a forgotten war it sure did have a great everlasting impact.

These native peoples, first mislabeled as Indians by an explorer named Christopher Columbus, divided themselves into many different tribes, each with its own government, language, traditions and religions. Europeans, who slowly poured into the Indian's land, did not respect the Indians beliefs, interrupted their peaceful life and would do almost anything to get the land to them selves. The settlers also believed the land that both the Indians and the settlers lived on was theirs to themselves. They began to push the Native Americans off of their own land. Many of them fought back to keep their homes, some succeeded, some didn't.

A war time economy in the United States has proven to be a way to bring the people of America together, boost the economy, and inspire nationalism. The War of 1812 did much to follow this trend. By shutting off trade with Great Britain for a few years, United States ' manufacturers were able to establish their industries and develop a dependency from the people of America. In these ways, the War of 1812 helped create a scenario that allowed the United States to proliferate following the war. The United States grew following War of 1812 due to innovations in transportation, the role of the federal government, and industrialization in the developing market.

The War of 1812 was started by America due to British encroachment on three fronts, trade restrictions imposed by the British, the increasing alliances of the British with Indian tribes blocking American expansion West, and due to British interference with merchant class ships in the Atlantic. The war was fought in the Great Lakes region between America and Canada, near New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico, in the Atlantic trade routes, and around Washington DC. The British had always considered the American insurrection in the 1770s to be a temporary event, their continued battles within the European continent as well as the rest of the British empire had proven to be too distracting to keep a solid check on North America. The British also had not anticipated a war in North America in the lead up to the war of 1812 due to the fragility of the American states, leading to the hubris Britain retained in its relations with the young United States of America.

The War of 1812 was a war between Britain and the United States fought primarily in Upper Canada. It had many causes, few which involved British North America. The results of the war include the fact that there was no clear winner or loser among them. The only real losers in the situation were the Natives in the region. They were driven out of their lands and customs. None of the borders was changed by the war, though many attempts were made. The Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war, did nothing to advance the state of the countries. It went so far as to end the war and put things back the way that they were, but the main causes of the conflict were not addressed or dealt with. In order to evaluate the significance of this war,

The Native Americans suffered during the Louisiana purchase by having more of their land taken away. There were some tribes that the colonists did not interact with, thus with the expansion of territory, they began to find them as a problem. The government on a national level was trying to acquire even more land, they did so by

The French and Indian War also had lasting (and devastating) effects for the Native American tribes of North America. The British took retribution against Native American nations that fought on the side of the French by cutting off their
