There was not a burning national anger, like there was after the Chesapeake outrage; the regular army was very bad and scattered and had old, senile generals, and the offensive strategy against Canada was especially poorly conceived.
Had the Americans captured Montreal, everything west would have wilted like a tree after its trunk has been severed, but the Americans instead focused a three-pronged attack that set out from Detroit, Niagara, and Lake Champlain, all of which were beaten back. In contrast, the British and Canadians displayed enthusiasm early on in the war and captured the American fort of Michilimackinac, which commanded the upper Great Lakes area the battle was led by British General Isaac Brock.
After more land invasions were hurled back in , the Americans, led by Oliver Hazard Perry, built a fleet of green-timbered ships manned by inexperienced men, but still managed to capture a British fleet. In , 10, British troops prepared for a crushing blow to the Americans along the Lake Champlain route, but on September 11, , Capt. Thomas MacDonough challenged the British and snatched victory from the fangs of defeat and forced the British to retreat.
The news of this British defeat reached Washington early in February , and two weeks later came news of peace from Britain. During the war, the American navy had oddly done much better than the army, since the sailors were angry over British impressment of U. However, Britain responded with a naval blockade, raiding ships and ruining American economic life such as fishing.
The Treaty of Ghent At first, the confident British made sweeping demands for a neutralized Indian buffer state in the Great Lakes region, control of the Great Lakes, and a substantial part of conquered Maine, but the Americans, led by John Quincy Adams, refused. As American victories piled up, though, the British reconsidered.
The Treat of Ghent, signed on December 24, , was an armistice, acknowledging a draw in the war and ignoring any other demands of either side. Each side simply stopped fighting. The main issue of the war, impressment, was left unmentioned. Federalist Grievances and the Hartford Convention As the capture of New Orleans seemed imminent, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Rhode Island secretly met in Hartford from December 15, to January 5, , to discuss their grievances and to seek redress for their wrongs.
Three special envoys from Mass. The Hartford Convention proved to be the death of the Federalist Party, as their last presidential nomination was trounced by James Monroe in The Second War for American Independence The War of was a small war involving some 6, Americans killed or wounded, and when Napoleon invaded Russia in with , men, Madison tried to invade Canada with about 5, men.
Yet, the Americans proved that they could stand up for what they felt was right, and naval officers like Perry and MacDonough gained new respect; American diplomats were treated with more respect than before.
Manufacturing also prospered during the British blockade, since there was nothing else to do. Incidents like the burning of Washington added fuel to the bitter conflict with Britain, and led to hatred of the nation years after the war, though few would have guessed that the War of would be the last war America fought against Britain.
Many Canadians felt betrayed by the Treaty of Ghent, since not even an Indian buffer state had been achieved, and the Indians, left by the British, were forced to make treaties where they could. The North American Review debuted in , and American painters painted landscapes of America on their canvases, while history books were now being written by Americans for Americans.
Washington D. In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong! It was not high enough, but it was a great start, and in , Henry Clay established a program called the American System.
The system began with a strong banking system. It advocated a protective tariff behind which eastern manufacturing would flourish. It also included a network of roads and canals, especially in the burgeoning Ohio Valley, to be funded for by the tariffs, and through which would flow foodstuffs and raw materials from the South and West to the North and East. He straddled the generations of the Founding Fathers and the new Age of Nationalism.
Early in , Monroe took a goodwill tour venturing deep into New England, where he received heartwarming welcomes. However, seeds of sectional troubles were planted. Notably, the South did not like the tariff saying it only benefited the North and made the South pay higher prices. A major cause of the panic had been over-speculation in land prices, where the Bank of the United States fell heavily into debt. Oddly, this started an almost predictable chain of panics or recessions.
