War of 1812 questions...easy!!?

The long term ramifications were that it stopped the British from impressing American soldiers onto British ships for naval service and it caused the British to leave a few of their forts on the American Mainland. It's called the forgotten war because there were no great gains won. The war restored the status quo and little more.

It should be studied because it showed the futility of Jefferson's vision of a weak central government. After that war, he realized that a stronger central government would be needed to protect the country from invading forces. You can use the fact that we lost every single major battle except the Battle of New Orleans as an example of this.

War Of 1812 Questions

Though the battles of early 1814 provided the US with no further opportunities to renew their attacks against Canada, they stopped the British advance and, on a larger level.

Before the Treaty of Ghent was signed by President Madison on February 16, 1815, Britain insisted that America turn a large part of the Northwest Territory into an Indian reservation that would serve as a barrier state between the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. rejected the demands and there was an impasse. American public opinion was so outraged when Madison published the demands that even the Federalists were willing to fight on.

After Napoleon abdicated on April 6, 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies, but by then the immature, undisciplined American troops of 1812 and 1813 were, by 1814, suddenly transformed into a fighting force capable of holding ground against British veterans.

Well, there were actually two important wars at the time. If you were American I could just assume you meant the American one, but being British I'm not so sure. The American War of 1812 was the Americans versus the British. There was political tension between the US and Britain, as a result of various territorial disagreements as well as the fact that Britain was drafting American sailors. The US invaded Canada, the British invaded the US. Though Britain did very well at first and burnt Washington, D.C., later American victories resulted in heavy British casualties and eventually withdrawal. "The Star Spangled Banner" was written about the British shelling of Baltimore. The other European one is a coalition of the British and Russians versus Napoleon, who had conquered a lot of continental Europe. British participation in this war is part of the reason they did not keep the war going in America. As Napoleon was driven back, armies from the liberated countries joined this coalition. Napoleon was eventually defeated and sent into exile. Tchaikovsky wrote his famous "Overture 1812" about this war. It actually lasted longer than 1812, though the Russians call it the "Patriotic War of 1812" due to the French invasion of (and defeat in) Russia in that year.
