The War of 1812

The Coming of the War of 1812 • U.S. found themselves in the cross fire between France and Britain • Orders in Council – forbade neutral vessels from trading with France • Napoleon threatened to seize all foreign ships that cooperated with the British navy.

U.S. Steps to Avoid War • The Embargo Act of 1807 - Stopped shipments of food and other American products to all foreign ports.

• Passed by Jefferson • Non-Intercourse Act – replaced the Embargo by only prohibiting U.S. trade with Britain and France • Passed by Madison – Both Acts strained U.S. economy

U.S. declares war on Great Britain in 1812 due to: • British impressments of U.S. sailors • British support of American Indian uprisings • General violations of neutrality • Republican fear that not resolving the crisis would return the Federalists to power

Effects of War of 1812

• conquered territory restored • stronger U.S. control over Northwest Territory • peace alliance between U.S. and Great Britain • destruction of the Federalist Party
