    The War of 1812 was a war that lasted for two years that helped the United States to firmly and officially establish its independence. After finishing with the concern of France, England turned its attention over to the United States. At first, the United States did not want to resort to war and fighting (Doc. B) but rather sort out their issues economically--because England had seized all ships that did not stop in the British port before heading to their other European destinations, Congress passed the Embargo Act and then the Non-Intercourse Act, allowing trade with all nations except France and England. Then, England refused to allow this trade to occur, so America had to resort to war. The Northeastern Federalists were not in favor of war, but the Republicans ultimately won the majority vote in Congress to declare war--the War of 1812 (Doc. G). During this war, America was very concerned with gaining control over land in this country as well as in Canada, but at the same time Americans needed to defend themselves against their strong British enemies. Either way, America had to abandon its position of neutrality (Doc. C).…

    Even though Canada was on the way to becoming an independent county it was still tied closely with Britain. When Britain became under attack by Germany, Canada was called upon to fight on Britain’s behalf. Many Canadians were recent immigrants from Britain and were ready to fight when “Mother England” needed help. Canada was fighting not only for the mother country but civilization itself. When Canada joined many people enlisted because they believed it would be over in just a few weeks. Canada’s Prime Minister Borden had promised to send 500 000 troops which was a huge number considering the entire population of Canada. Borden agreed to such a higher number because he thought that the war was a way for Canada to “prove itself” to the world. When it did not end as quickly as thought and the troops suffered huge losses the number of people enlisting dropped. Borden was being pressured to maintain the number of troops he…

    Although the American’s had been “independent” from the British since the end of the Revolutionary War, the British continued to harass and mettle in American affairs. While Madison was seeking reelection the War Hawks in Congress had declared war on Britain in June 18. On paper the rag-tag American was seen as incapable of defeating the superior British forces for a second time. However this war would have an unexpected results as neither side would be the “victory”. Even the United States wasn’t able to gain any new territory to their growing collection and the borders were returned to the way they had been (status quo antebellum), Americans were able to declare victory in the War of 1812 because they were able to enter a period of economic independence from the world (Europe) which carried on to the Era of Good Feeling as well as hold its own against what was concerned the strongest fighting force in the world at the time.…

    It will be told by the future Historian, that the Province of Upper Canada, without the assistance of men or arms, except for a handful of regular troops, repelled its invaders, slew or took them all prisoners, and captured from its enemies the greater part of the arms by which it was defended. ... And never, surely, was greater activity shewn in any country, than our militia here exhibited, never greater valour, cooler resolution, and more approved conduct; they have emulated the choicest veterans... – From a sermon delivered by Rev.
