One of the main causes of the war of 1812 was the impressment of U.S. men into the Royal Navy. Many people also believed that Britain supported the Native Americans as a means as trying to prevent the expansion the United States west.

The main land fighting of the war occurred along the Canadian border, in the Chesapeake Bay region, and along the Gulf of Mexico; extensive action also took place at sea.

Jenna A. said...

One thing that caused war in great Britain was that a group called war hawks demanded we go to war with Britain. Also Napoleon's announcement in 1810 of the revocation of his decrees was followed by British refusals to repeal their orders, and pressures for war increased. There were also other reasons like the trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France.

In 1812 the impressment caused war with America and Great Britain. The British people were capturing American sailors and making them serve in the British navy. This made America furious so they declared war with Britain.

There were many reasons why the Americans and the British fought. One reason was because of Britain impressments, when they captured Americans for the British navy.

Darinda R. said...

What caused the war with Britain was United States and how the wanted there independence and also they were tired of restrictions such as attacks on american ships and forcing american sailors into service with the British navy also making trading hard with france and other european nationswww.historyguy.com/war_of_1812_links.html

Naval campaigns of the War of 1812
The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and outrage over insults to national honor after humiliations on the high seas. Tied down in Europe until 1814, the British at first used defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario, and destroyed the dream of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In the Southwest, General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. The British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington, D.C. American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans.
The war was fought in three theaters. At sea, warships and privateers of both sides attacked each other's merchant ships. The British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war. American successes at sea were characterized by single ship duels against British frigates, and combat against British provincial vessels on the Great Lakes, such as at the action on Lake Erie. Both land and naval battles were fought on the frontier, which ran along the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River. The South and the Gulf coast saw major land battles in which the American forces destroyed Britain's Indian allies and repulsed the main British invasion force at New Orleans. Both sides invaded each other's territory, but these invasions were unsuccessful or temporary. At the end of the war, both sides occupied parts of the other's territory, but these areas were restored by the Treaty of Ghent.
In the United States, battles such as the Battle of New Orleans of 1815 and the Battle of Baltimore of 1814 (which inspired the lyrics of the United States national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner") produced a sense of euphoria over a "second war of independence" against Britain. It ushered in an "Era of Good Feelings" in which partisan animosity nearly vanished. Canada also emerged from the war with a heightened sense of national feeling and solidarity, having repelled multiple American invasions. Battles such as the Battle of Queenston Heights and the Battle of Crysler's Farm were used as such examples by Canadians. The war is scarcely remembered in Britain today, as it regarded the war as a sideshow to the much larger war against Napoleon raging in Europe; as such it welcomed an era of peaceful relations and trade with the United States.

Devin W. said...

There was 3 main reasons for the 1812 war (Mr. Maddison's War). On reason was because they were interfering with trades over sea. Another reason was because of impressment. They searched American ships for British deserters an forced them to join the British navy. Another minor reason was because they were stirring up Indian warfare in the northwest.

One of the things that caused a second war with britain was trading restrictions because of Britain's ongoing war with france also the impressment of American merchant sailors into the their navy.Another thing that made us go to war with britain again was that they supported the native americans to go against american expansion

Paul Kruger,the president of the South African Republic,issued his own ultimatum,giving the British 48 hours to withdraw their troops from the border of the Transvaal,failing which the Transvaal,allied with the Orange free State,would declare war against the British. Both sides rejected the others' ultimatums,and the Transvaal and the Orange Free State governments declared war.

The War of 1812, a war between the United States and the British Empire (particularly Great Britain and British North America), and Britain's Indian allies, lasted from 1812 to 1815. It was fought chiefly on the Atlantic Ocean and on the land, coasts and waterways of North America.I fornd this information on the wiki.There were several immediate stated causes for the U.S. declaration of war: first, a series of trade restrictions introduced by Britain to impede American trade with France, a country with which Britain was at war (the U.S. contested these restrictions as illegal under international law);[1] second, the impressment (forced recruitment) of U.S

Tamiah f said...

The Indians declared the war

Malik b kyler b said...

The second war with Britian was caused by the British who was supposed to move there soldiers off of u.s territory.

Alexis,g said...

One of the causes was from the Americans getting irrated because the britains wouldn't leave there land. The British signed the treaty and they wouldn't leave. So, sooner or later the British leader fired at Thomas Jefferson and he took action even though they weren't prepared for this upcoming war.

The reason for the second war is because the military conflict Fought Between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for a couple of reasons, including trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France.

Jordan, Lanisha said...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812
The war was about military conflict between the forces of the United States and the British Empire. At the end of the war they made a treaty called the Treaty of Ghent. The reason why they fought was because the trading of France, impressment, British support of Indian raids, United States expansionism, and US political conflict.

justin s said...

they fought about tradeing rection

Katelyn Eisenechl said...

The "causes" of the war are CHIEFLY seen in President Madison's official statement justifying the declaration of war (for which Congress voted).

1) impressment of U.S. sailors. This was actually settled before war, with Britain largely acquiescing (though with slow communication the Americans did not yet know this)

2) interference in American TRADE, and hence with American sovereignty/independence.

This was mainly the result of the wars between Britain and France (and Americans suffered at the hands of BOTH powers). Once that war ended, the British no longer interfered in the same way. Thus the American objective was achieved, though not necessarily by the war!!

3) "Indian question" -- in the Northwest frontier wars. the British supported the Indians
this was THE reason for invading the Canadian territories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3spRxo4CKY

the problem that caused the war of 1812 was when America was annoyed by Britians practice of Impressment,or the capture of American seamen for service in the British navy.the end f it was the treaty of Ghent which ended all hostile forces between them.

anaiahw kyrae said...

One cause was the embargo. France thought it was a sign the Americans would ally with them. So Britain offered the jay treaty and Americans accepted. So the French thought that by them signing it they would ally with Britain. France retaliated against the Americans.

There were many causes of The War of 1812. One cause of The War of 1812 was the impressment on American sailors into the british navy ships. Another cause was Britain's blockade of U.S. ports. Another cause was that Britain refused to repeal the Order-In-Council banning neutral contras to trade with European countries. Those are some causes that started The War of 1812.

The war of 1812 Was caused by the British breaking u.s. maritine rights. The british was violating the rights of the u.s. when it comes to shipping. They didn't agree that when the u.s. said free ships make free goods they disagreed and more arguing between the two. This is what cause the second war of 1812 between the u.s. and the British.

Hiep L. said...

American President James Madison declared war with Great Britain on June 18, 1812. The American tried to take Upper and Lower Canada due to lacking naval power. The Canadian Governor General, Georges Prevost, had few means to defend the colonies, nor could he rely on the loyalty of their inhabitants, which was far from assured. For the American, this was a second American Revolution. The Native American lost their independence as a result of the American expansion, which was the real losers in this conflict.

The first war was started when Washington and his men were on their way to attack. The British didn't want to have a war with them. By the time the message got to Washington, it was too late. The second war began when the British wanted to keep on going, even when they already won.
