In 1812, war erupted between a young and inexperienced America, and the naval power house, Great Britain. Although territorial greed did play one aspect in why America declared war on Great Britain, there were many other factors that contributed to the cause. A major premise was the feeling that Great Britain was impeding upon the rights of the American citizens. This was present in the highly significant Chesapeake Bay Incident in which a neutral American vessel was shot at by Great Britain, killing five Americas. This was not the only infraction upon the U.S., but five years later was a major contribution when the declaration for war was sighned. The U.S. again received a blow to its freedoms when the warring nations of France and Britain both signed decrees restricting American trade. This greatly frustrated the newly flourishing trade industry and violated the Freedom of the Seas policy. Although there were some disputes between these three prominent nations, war was not needed to settle the differences. When the war of 1812 was terminated, America emerged with no significant territorial gains but as a “prouder, stronger and more unified nation”(199 Boorstine, Kelly). The extremely uneventful war of 1812 was ultimately sparked due to Americans desires to expand, Great Britain’s attack in the Chesapeake Bay, and un lawful decrees confining American trade.

Before this war the Napoleonic Wars were underway. This war was between Great Britain and France. America was attempting to stay neutral throughout these wars, yet they still wanted to trade with both countries. While attempting to trade with France and England, American sailors were being taken hostage and their ships ransacked. The American people were upset and wanted to end the taking of their sailors. The war of 1812 was caused by the strong influence from the two War Hawks Henry Clay from Kentucky and John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. They wanted to start the war against England in attempt to gain Spanish Florida and British Canada. President Jefferson was able to convince and rally the support of Americans by using the Chesapeake Incident and the imprisonment of their sailors to support their reasoning to go to war. Though the Chesapeake Incident, the seizure of American ships and capturing our sailors upset the American citizens as well as the government the true reason that we went to war was the overpowering greed of acquiring more land. <br /><br />Francesca GhiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388703900125528875.post-85371500394512869772012-10-26T19:55:44.660-07:002012-10-26T19:55:44.660-07:00Throughout the process of the United States of Ame...Throughout the process of the United States of America becoming a nation the Revolutionary War was fought for our nation’s independence. However, as our nation grew in size and power, our role as a nation in the world became larger also. Because the United States had a larger role in global affairs, this led to the causes of the War of 1812. Though there were numerous causes to the War of 1812, the main causes were the violation of the freedom of the seas, the impressment of sailors, the Imperialist Decrees and Orders in Council, and perhaps most of all, greed.

A war where 2,260 lives were lost in action to “establish the status quo ante bellum” (Gulotta). The causes of the futile War of 1812 are directly related to America’s greed in the early 19th century, including: America’s desire for more territory, the killing and impressment of United States sailors (an act that took place 5 years prior to America’s declaration of war), along with the aspiration to remove British soldiers from their forts established in the west, and finally, to maintain the freedom of the seas. <br /><br />-Michael Schiffer<br /><br /><br />Gulotta class notes ~ war_0f1812.pdf<br />http://amhistory.si.edu/militaryhistory/exhibition/flash.html <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388703900125528875.post-91238073219988163052012-10-26T19:11:08.196-07:002012-10-26T19:11:08.196-07:00The War of 1812 was a war that should have never b...The War of 1812 was a war that should have never been fought for the only things that it gave back were the burning of the Capitol Building and the White House, and the deaths of approximately 15,000 Americans. The "reason" why this war was fought was because of the seizing and attacking of American ships by the British and the Orders in Council, which in the eyes of the Government of the U.S. violated freedom of the seas. The truth is, that these were dropped two days before America declared war. The actual reason why America declared war against Great Britain was greed. This greed was to take Canada from the British and Florida from the Spanish; and since they saw that the British were in the middle of the Napoleonic war, they thought that our young and naive army could defeat their weakened forces. America had no luck against the British, winning only one land battle, the young American army got defeated and the Treaty of Ghent was signed to return everything to the way it was before the war. <br /><br />-Pedro Escobar<br /><br />Sources: <br />- http://amhistory.si.edu/militaryhistory/exhibition/flash.html<br />- Boorstin & Kelley<br />- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
