Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History WAR OF 1812 The War of 1812, sometimes called "the Second War of Independence," was fought between the United States and Great Britain from 1812 to 1815. Relations between the two countries had often been strained after the United States won its independence in 1783, but the greatest problems developed during the war between England and France that broke out in 1793. To prevent American neutral shipping from helping the French, the British instituted extensive maritime blockades of European ports. The resulting seizures of American merchant shipping quickly brought demands for retaliation in the United States. From 1794 on, however, tensions eased as the administrations of George Washington and John Adams worked to avoid diplomatic difficulties with the British. In the years between 1803 and 1812 relations between the United States and Great Britain again deteriorated sharply. France was now ruled by Napoleon, and the European struggle became more widespread. Beginning in 1805 the British imposed much stricter maritime blockades, culminating in the Orders in Council of 1807. These orders severely restricted neutral trade with Europe. The effect of these blockades was compounded by the British practice of impressment. The British navy claimed the right to stop neutral vessels on the high seas to look for "deserters." In the course of searching American ships, mistakes were often made, and as a result many American seamen were impressed into the British navy.

World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder War of 1812 , a conflict between Great Britain and the United States, sometimes called "the second war for independence" and "Mr. Madison's war." During the war between France and England starting in 1793, the British put blockades on European ports to restrict American merchant shipping with France. About 1807 the British stepped up impressment of American seamen into their navy. The United States passed the Embargo Act , which banned all exports and limited American shipping to coastal trade. In 1810 a group of young Democratic-Republican congressmen from the West called War Hawks urged that the United States defend itself against the British (who were inciting the Indians along the Great Lakes frontier) and invade Canada. Despite the opposition of the Federalist party , centered in New England, Congress declared war against Great Britain on June 18, 1812. The United States invaded Canada on three fronts, but were unsuccessful. The American navy fared quite well, with USS Constitution defeating HMS Guerrière . In 1813 Capt. Oliver H. Perry won the Battle of Lake Erie and Gen. William Henry Harrison defeated the British and Indians at the Battle of the Thames. In 1814 the British invaded Washington, D.C., forcing President James Madison to flee the city; they burned the White House and other public buildings. The British failed in their attempt to capture Baltimore, and Thomas Macdonough defeated the British at the Battle of Plattsburg Bay on Lake Champlain.

While the South and West favored war, New York and New England opposed it because it interfered with their commerce. The declaration of war had been made with military preparations still far from complete. There were fewer than 7,000 regular soldiers, distributed in widely scattered posts along the coast, near the Canadian border and in the remote interior. These soldiers were to be supported by the undisciplined militia of the states. Hostilities between the two countries began with an invasion of Canada, which, if properly timed and executed, would have brought united action against Montreal. But the entire campaign miscarried and ended with the British occupation of Detroit. The U.S. Navy, however, scored successes and restored confidence. In addition, American privateers, swarming the Atlantic, captured 500 British vessels during the fall and winter months of 1812 and 1813. The campaign of 1813 centered on Lake Erie. General William Henry Harrison who would later become president led an army of militia, volunteers and regulars from Kentucky with the object of reconquering Detroit. On September 12, while he was still in upper Ohio, news reached him that Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry had annihilated the British fleet on Lake Erie. Harrison occupied Detroit and pushed into Canada, defeating the fleeing British and their Indian allies on the Thames River. The entire region now came under American control.

Women Were There The Wars of 1812 and 1846 and the Spanish American War The War of 1812 The USS CONSTITUTION met and defeated HMS GUERRIERE, the first in a grand succession of victories in the War of 1812. It was during this ferocious battle that the seamen, astonished at the way the British cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitution's hull, cried out -"Her sides are made of iron!" Thus, her nickname,"Old Ironsides." What was not known at the time was the fact that a U.S. Marine, serving aboard Old Ironsides, as George Baker, was actually Lucy Brewer. Eventually the Marine Corps reluctantly acknowledged that Lucy Brewer was perhaps the very first woman marine. Here's the way the Historical Division of the USMC tells the Lucy Brewer story: It would be over one hundred years before the Marine Corps seriously began to recruit women - August 1918 - to be specific. Mexican American War - 1846 Sarah Borginis: Mrs. Borginis and a Mrs.Foley enlisted with their husbands into the 8th calvary at the Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Sarah became the principal cook at Fort Brown (Fort Texas) and stayed on the job when General Taylor moved most of his troops to the mouth of the Rio Grande. However, when the Mexicans began bombarding Fort Texas, (Fort Brown) from their positions at Matamoros, she was isssued a musket. It's said she took an active part in the ensuing fray, never missing a target or preparing a meal. Gen. Zachary Taylor breveted her to colonel, making her the first female colonel of the U.S.Army. She moved to El Paso and opened a hotel. For years it was a favorite stop of '49ers heading for the California gold fields. She later moved to Arizona and ran a Yuma saloon until her death in 1866. Col. Borginis was buried at Fort Yuma with full Military Honors - the first woman to be a ranking U.S.Army officer - albeit a brevet one.

From the time of the American Revolution until the War of 1812, the main trading centres in Lower Canada were Quebec and Montreal; in Upper Canada, Kingston and Niagara (and later York ) were the main ports. For the most part, Upper Canada was administered by British army officers who were based at Fort Niagara Fort York Fort George Fort Erie , and Kingston . The lands were largely wilderness, and the condition of the few roads made land travel difficult. Mrs. Simcoe (wife of Colonel John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada) described them as "that terrible kind of road where the Horses’ feet are entangled among the logs amid water and swamps". As a result, most travel took place along the waterways of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence. In the years between the American Revolution and the War of 1812, many Loyalists (colonists who were loyal to the King) made their way north from the United States to settle in the Canadas and other colonies, in part responding to the Crown’s policy of land grants for Loyalists who swore allegiance to the King. This immigration caused the population of Upper Canada to grow rapidly from 14,000 in 1791 to 90,000 by 1812. The first task for these settlers was to clear the land for settlement. Mrs. Simcoe describes it well: "The way of clearing the land in this Country is cutting down all the small wood, pile it & set it on fire … The settler first builds a log hut covered with bark & after two or three years raises a neat House by the side of it."

Leading up to the War of 1812 After the Americans declared their independence, there was open conflict between the American colonies and Great Britain. The British withheld the West Indian trade from the Americans, and often subjected American vessels to searches for sailors who were ex-British subjects. In retaliation, the American Congress passed the Embargo Act in 1807 , which kept American ships at home, depriving both France and Britain of the American trade of which they had both grown dependent. The Act plunged the country into a depression, and many traders turned to smuggling goods were illegally traded to Canadians, who, being British, were capable of international trade. These further frustrations and the continued restraints imposed by the British on the Americans contributed to a declaration of War by the United States on June 18, 1812. The Americans sought reprieve from the British restraints by ousting the English from North America altogether. To learn about the War of 1812 from beginning to end
