What Caused the War of 1812?

- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- The War of 1812 was a major conflict between the United States and Great Britain for control of the Northern frontier. Often described as a second War of Independence, in reality it was caused - in large part - by the ineffective foreign policies of two U.S. Presidents.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

@@Daniel.A-t9hthis gives me hope for our future I don’t remember being taught this in school
Thought I never ever say that either
Far more important than people realize. 1812 established that the USA owned the Western Hemisphere and Britain had no business anywhere except Canada. 48 years later, when 11 southern states seceded from the USA and sought help from Great Britain, the USA invaded and destroyed them.
@lapdog5067that America rules my boy
@@pancakemix25 It doesn't even rule its own southern border.
@@matro2 Very true. We can thank the ding dongs in power for that.
@@pancakemix25 you do realize america thought canada would be " a mere matter of marching" and thy got their asses handed to them followed by the whitehouse being burnt to the ground

This was not a one sided blame game. The Brits were encouraging and arming their native American allies to raid American settlements. They also attempted to form an economic blockade with other European nations to keep the U.S. weak. And even though the Brits will never admit it, there was a hard core group in the British Parliament who had visions of a reconquest of the “colonies” as they called us at that time. But the whole war boils down to a rising power wanting to flex it’s muscle and an already established power wanting to check them. No one won, Native Americans lost.
This was another conflict that could not be avoided. It's the way of such a world and most conflicts must be joined to ever stop one.
For the British this was an extension of the Napoleonic wars
No it was not.... get a grip already.
Why do you say it was? I can't say I agree but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
No it was not , it was because us sovereign citizens refused to pay a federal tax debt to the kings crown from him financing, the first voyages and the building of the first colonies!
@@Nomad823 What are you smoking.... the War of 1812 had NOTHING to do with taxes you muppet.
America were paying taxes to Britain in 1812?
+preservingbattlefields *Thanks for a summary of American commercial hamstrings in the Napoleonic Wars.* United States merchants o' the era had little recourse to the regimes, respectively, of George IV (GBR) and the Prime Émpire (FRA) blockading each other; these wars also affected English (GBR) merchants adversely.
I just here for my finals next week
The British bombed my hometown during the battle of 1812 we used to hang out in a building that was hit by a Shell.
Hmm…
1. Proceed with the Louisiana Purchase. That was a great idea.
2. Do not embargo Britain. These cause mutual misery and lead to conflict and internal strife.
3. Do not declare war on a distracted Global Power.
4. Bolster your navy and clear your domestic shipping from British harassment.
Lastly, listen to our first President (Jefferson’s contemporary), and avoid foreign wars!
What's interesting to me is that The United States wanted to remain neutral on both fronts between the French and Great Britain. It was truly daunting for Thomas Jefferson to pick a side because losing support from either one would have resulted in consequences... Which I mean technically it did happen. I could be confusing with that part with the French Revolution as during this time period France, The United States, and Great Britian where at a constant dissonance with each other.
Anyhow great video!

They shouldnt have bought land from france and masacered native american. SImple as that
Why shouldn't Jefferson have bought the land?
If America didn't buy the land from France, Spain likely would have. France was going to sell it to someone to fund their war against the British. America didn't want a Spanish possession next to them, so America bought it. America would have gone to war against the British either way because they didn't respect America or believe Americans could hold their own against them. American victories at Baltimore and New Orleans proved otherwise and no European army ever invaded America again.
Umm..because it wasn't for sale?? Seriously? We destroyed the people already here. You can't be serious....
@@pamelaoliver8442 It was the destiny of the USA to transform from a few outposts on the East Coast into one country from sea to shining sea.
Pretty sad history, but that is what resulted.@@noah2633
It was started by the Americans. They launched three separate armies northwards to attack what is now Canada. It was a dismal disaster. Each army was confronted by much smaller Canadian/British forces, and defeated!! The Americans thought that with the British fighting for their lives against Napoleon, now was the chance to extend their empire northwards. How wrong they were. In the end, with the American navy driven out of existence, they sued for peace.
Communications were very slow in those days, so, with the war actually over the Americans launched an attack at New Orleans. The result was indecisive, but the Americans did best. But the war was over, and the British allowed the Americans to have their navy back.
👍
if you ask a brit they'll tell you we just wanted to annex canada, and we lost the war.
That’s partially true. Americans see the war as a fight to control their waters, while the Canadians who were at the time British colonists saw the conflict as victory due to them fending off Americans who were trying to take land that was north of the border. In short, their were no real winners of this conflict. In Canada they see this war as the first steps towards them becoming a nation of their own.
It was because a large group of us refused to agree to pay the debt off a debt to the kings crown for the first colonies!! And the civil war wasn’t about slavery it was about the two groups of us citizens, one that agreed to pay you back the debt to the Crown ,the north , (in federal taxes )and those that said no, the sovereign citizens the south !!
You didn't graduate high school did you.. the war of 1812 had NOTHING to do with that..
Revisionist history bro. Read a book.
And the US won the war over a powerful army. Solidufied the defense of the louisiana purchase. Losing to UK against canada was bad. We sgould hsve win canada. How thevbritish treated DC was terrible and we have thst to thank for inspiration for the star spangled bsnner.
Actually, Britain took over the capital, burned down the white house, and had mercy on the U S since they were fighting a more important war vs Napoleon
