You will have THREE walls to create displays of primary sources and each wall must answer ONE of the following questions: What was the main cause of the War of 1812? What is the most significant impact of the War of 1812? To what extent was the War of 1812 a second war for American independence? en-us 2016-10-04 14:02:34 UTC 2026-02-11 04:58:50 UTC hello@padlet.com meghans2729 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128176316 Impressment of American merchants and sailors.]]> 2016-10-04 14:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128176316 meghans2729 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128176428 The rise of American patriotism.]]> 2016-10-04 14:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128176428 meghans2729 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128176588 They were independent from the beginning.

Through this image you realize colonists wanted to stay loyal to the Americas thus staring a fight on the ships due to Impressment. ]]> 2016-10-05 03:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128371562 melaniea3930 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128373157 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.

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 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.]]> 2016-10-05 13:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128484599 meghans2729 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128487044  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.]]> 2016-10-05 14:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128487044 benjamine0745 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128488032 "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.]]> 2016-10-05 14:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128488032 ryand1906 https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128488751 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.

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.]]> 2016-10-05 14:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ryand1906/r0c8vf6x1t4w/wish/128493133
