"Sir, The repulse which the enemy met with on the 8th has, I believe, proved fatal to their hopes. Their loss on that day was prodigious, exceeding, according to their own accounts as well as to ours, 2600. Amongst their killed were Genl. Packingham, the commander in cheif, and Majr Genl Gibbs who died the day after the action. Major general Kean was wounded but still lives. Their army is at present conducted by Major general Lambert, who, if I mistake not, finds himself in a very great perplexity. To advance he cannot: to retreat is shameful. Reduced to this unhappy dilemma, I believe he is disposed to encounter disgrace rather than ruin, and will, as soon as his arrangements for this purpose are effected, return to his shipping."

It was not that important becasue there were not too may different impacts. There were negative outcomes, but not too much positive.

The Battle of New Orleans was the most straining battle on the American country during the war, because it was recently purchased from the French and incorporated into America.  Andrew Jackson's army that fought was mainly a volunteer army, meaning that those who did fight alongside the American general had recently acquired a sense ofpatriotism in the new region.

"The strength of the British army proved too great for U.S. forces. Both on land and at sea, U.S. troops suffered great losses. In August 1814, British troops entered Washington, D.C., and burned the Capitol and the White House. By December, both the Americans and the British recognized that it was time to end the conflict. Representatives of the two nations met in Belgium on December 24 and signed the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war and restored previously recognized boundaries between the United States and British territory in North America."

This is significant because it shows that the Treaty of Ghent had ended the war of 1812 and had re-established the separation between the United States and Great Britain.

The War of 1812 often gets overshadowed by the Revolutionary War and is generally less understood among the American public. This war was really an offshoot of a larger global conflict between the British empire and the French empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. To North Americans, however, it was seen as a renewed struggle for independence. Canadian colonists and Native Americans fought against the U.S. invasion of their territories. Americans declared war on Britain because of interference in American trade with France, whom Britain was blockading, and also because of British impressment of sailors from American ships.

There were multiple reasons why the war started, but one of the main reasons was becasue of the impressment of American soldiers, shown in this article.

"I am still of opinion that the immediate nomination of Madison & Clinton at Washington would secure the election of both to their respective stations that Mr. Clinton & his friends would yet be satisfied by the arrangement that any further delay or division will ensure the election of federal candidates, and that Mr. Clinton will be nominated by several of the republican states in the course of all this month & June – should the administration intend to send out Dispatches to either France or England this summer I should have no objections to be the bearer of them."

This shows how the that the federalists were on a downward roll, and was slowly diminishing. Eventually after the war, there was no more federalist party.

This answers the question to what extent was the War of 1812 because in reality the US tried to prevent any war and make peace with their enemy yet were rejected by King George.  This War of 1812 showed how independent they were after winning and as well as the US tried being mature about it through the Olive Petition.

This answers the question to to what extent was the War of 1812 because the US nor Great Britain were really winning during this War. Both countries were losing soldiers and investing much money on a war that was going no where for either side. In order to end the War of 1812 they had to come to an agreement with the Treaty of Ghent. In which officially established the nationalism of the United States because technically the US had already gained their independence in previous events. The extent of this war weren't major, in fact it was becoming a lose situation for both so this treaty was the answer to their problems for both countries.

This answers the question about the Impressment of American merchants/ sailors because American were tired and frustrated of putting up with Britain's regulations. This affected the United States drastically when sailors would be forcibly placed into Great Britain's service. Husbands weren't returning to their families and trade wasn't being regulated which was a lost of profit for the US. In order to resolve this President James Madison declared war against Great Britain.

This answers the question because it shows British sailors forcing colonists (in this cases the Chesapeake) to join their side or their would be consequences. Through this image you realize colonists wanted to stay loyal to the Americas thus staring a fight on the ships due to Impressment.

Access to Originals

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room.
