Overview: The war of 1812 was fought between the
US and Great Britain from June
1812 to the spring of 1815. An event that pushed the US toward the
war with Great Britain was in 1810 when Napoleon declared that France would
end its attacks on American ships. Then president Madison cut off
trade with Britain, but the British continued to take over American ships.
Then Madison was thinking that war was the only way to make the British
stop and respect the American rights. In June 1812 the War Hawks
convinced Congress to declare war on the British, the same month Britain
agreed to stop attacking American ships. On October 5, 1813 the US met a combined British and Indian force at Thames, a river north of Lake
Erie. The battle of Thames was a victory for the U.S. Tecumseh was
killed at this battle. In August 1814 the British went marching to Washington
D.C. and set it on fire. Washington burned while the president and the US government were at Virginia. The British burned the
president's house
as well. The last battle was the battle of New Orleans in which 2,000
British were killed or wounded and only about 8 Americans were killed
or wounded. The treaty that ended the war was The Treaty of Ghent in 1814.
