The Presidency of James Madison 
Quick Summary of The War of 1812

 

 

 

 

 

Big Picture Theme: New Englander's and the Federalist party strongly condemned the War of 1812. The Federalists met to discuss their grievances in Hartford Connecticut in 1814. Many considered discussing secession at a future meeting, which because the war ended never convened. 

 

 

The War of 1812 - What Happened?

 

#1 The U.S. tried to avoid war with Great Britain and France

#2 British policy of impressment angered a group of young "War Hawk" Congressmen 

 

#3 While the Western Republicans– the War Hawks – were pushing for and getting war – the Federalists were at Hartford, Conn making one last attempt at hanging on - The War Vote -1812

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#4  The Hartford Convention  (Dec. 15, 1814 thru Jan. 5, 1815) Almost from the start the states of New England had refused to co-operate with the war effort and threatened to leave the union

 

 

The Results of the War 

We had beaten Britain twice in 40 years!!

 

Treaty of Ghent - December 24, 1814 - Ended the War of 1812  Restored the status quo (Everything as it had been before the war ).  For the most part, territory captured in the war was returned to the original owner. It also set up a commission to determine the disputed Canada/U.S.

 

The resolutions were written up and sent to DC and arrived at the same time as news of the Battle of New Orleans and the Treaty of Ghent

 

 

 

 

 

Things to Remember about the War of 1812 

#1 We were now seen in Europe’s eyes as a nation - Nascent nationalism, great pride and patriotism

 

#2  End of the Federalist Party – the Republicans were now in complete control

 

#3 The significance of the Battle of New Orleans 

 

#4 Interruption of global trade leads to increase domestic manufacturing and the promotion of Industrialization
