War Of 1812 Dbq Research Paper
I believe that the forces that led Americans to declare war on Britain in 1812 was when Britain took over many ships of ours. They took our men as well.

We need the ocean to use for transportation and you never know if we would have needed it for something else. It was important for use to have the ability to use the ocean.
I believe that the forces that led use to declare war on Britain was that they took our ships. They also took that men on board those ships as slaves. Lastly they trespassed our right to use the ocean for transportation. I also believe that is was a good thing that we declared war on
