Study Notes
- The War of 1812, lasting from 1812 to 1815, resolved issues hindering U.S. development and marked the end of wars between the U.S. and Great Britain.
- It was the last war where Indian tribes allied with foreign nations; afterward, the U.S. government increasingly viewed Native Americans as an internal matter instead of sovereign nations.
Renewed Tension Between the United States and Great Britain
- Tensions leading to the War of 1812 dated back to 1775, with both the U.S. and Britain allying with Indian tribes against each other.
- Britain's conflict in North America was secondary to its world war with France, which lasted from 1689 to 1815, marked by ideological differences after the French Revolution and Napoleon's rise.
- The Federalists in the U.S. favored Britain, while the Democratic-Republicans favored France.
- British naval control posed a greater threat to the U.S. than who controlled Europe because Britain depended on its navy to protect itself and dominate the oceans.
- The Royal Navy was short of sailors, as many deserted to join U.S. merchant vessels due to better pay and working conditions.
- The British practice of impressment, seizing sailors from U.S. ships, was a major cause of the War of 1812.
- Between 1803 and 1812, around 3,000 to 6,000 American citizens were forced into service on British warships.
- In June 1807, the HMS Leopard attacked the USS Chesapeake, further escalating tensions over impressment; this resulted in three American deaths and the capture of four sailors.
- Congress initially responded with a Non-Importation Act that failed, and then Jefferson urged the Embargo Act in 1807 to prevent trade with foreign ports, aiming to protect U.S. ships and sailors, which negatively impacted both Britain and America.
- The Embargo Act hurt New England shipping and farmers nationwide, leading to smuggling and declarations of illegality by Massachusetts and Connecticut.
- In 1809, the Non-Intercourse Act replaced the Embargo Act, authorizing trade with everyone except Britain and France.
- In 1810, Macon's Bill No. 2 further modified the Non-Intercourse Act, creating tensions, especially with Britain, due to continued impressments and disruptions to commercial ties.
Renewed Tension between Whites and Indians
- Warfare between the U.S. and Indian tribes in the Ohio country broke out amid tensions with Great Britain.
- Peace in the Old Northwest had existed since the U.S. Army's victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Greenville in 1795.
- A new tribal alliance emerged, led by Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet, and his half-brother Tecumseh; they aimed to resist white expansion.
- Many belived Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa were aided by the British.
- Tenskwatawa preached a return to native traditions, urging tribes to renounce European ways to renew their culture and expel whites.
- Tenskwatawa created a new settlement called Prophetstown, where tribes gathered for spiritual renewal.
- Tecumseh sought alliances with other tribes and British authorities in Canada to resist white encroachment and create an all-Indian alliance.
- In 1810, Tecumseh met with William Henry Harrison, seeking peace.
- In November 1811, William Henry Harrison attacked Prophetstown, leading to war.
War and Its Consequences
- War Hawks, led by Henry Clay and Felix Grundy, advocated for war with Britain for territorial expansion into Canada and Florida.
- Federalists opposed the war, viewing it as commercially foolish.
- In June 1812, James Madison requested a declaration of war against Britain, which Congress approved by a narrow margin.
- The U.S. attack on Canada was a disaster due to a weak army and underestimation of British and Indian forces.
- In July 1812, Detroit fell to British soldiers and Indians led by Tecumseh.
- In October 1813, Tecumseh was killed in the Battle of the Thames, a significant U.S. victory, but the idea of conquering Canada ended.
- By 1814, the war worsened for the U.S.; in August, British troops burned Washington, D.C., including the Capitol and White House.
- In September 1814, the British bombardment of Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner."
- At the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in March 1814, Andrew Jackson defeated a Creek and Cherokee alliance, leading to the Treaty of Fort Jackson, where Creeks ceded 25 million acres.
- The Treaty of Ghent, negotiated in Belgium, restored pre-war borders and issues, driven by Britain's need to focus on France.
- New England Federalists opposed the war, leading to the Hartford Convention in December 1814, which demanded peace and discussed secession.
- The Battle of New Orleans, fought after the Treaty of Ghent was signed, saw Andrew Jackson's forces defeat the British.
- The War of 1812 resulted in significant deaths and bankruptcy for the U.S.
- The Treaty of Ghent and Jackson's victory in New Orleans were met with national celebrations.
- Post-war, Britain and the U.S. negotiated commercial treaties, the Rush-Bagot Treaty (1817) for Great Lakes disarmament, and the Anglo-American Convention to resolve the U.S.-Canada border.
- The war spurred manufacturing in the U.S. and led to increased self-sufficiency, territorial expansion, and a growth in national confidence.
Expanding American Territory and Influence
- Presidents James Madison and James Monroe continued territorial expansion, reflecting similar goals and political alignment.
- Americans like Daniel Boone ventured beyond U.S. borders, expecting government protection and eventual annexation of new lands.
- Military victories by William Henry Harrison and Andrew Jackson opened new territories for white settlement.
- After the War of 1812, the U.S. focused on annexing West and East Florida from Spain and the Oregon Territory, which was claimed by multiple European powers.
Florida and Oregon
- U.S. foreign control of West and East Florida threatened U.S. shipping, encouraged escaped slaves, and incited Seminole Indian resistance.
- In 1817, Andrew Jackson was authorized to attack the Seminoles, leading to the seizure of Spanish forts and executions.
- U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams used "the Jackson Magic" to pressure Spain to cede Florida.
- In 1819, the Adams-Onís Treaty with Spain ceded Florida to the U.S. and transferred Spanish rights to the Oregon Territory for $5 million in debt relief.
- The U.S. negotiated with Great Britain for joint control of the Pacific Northwest in the 1818 Anglo-American Convention.
- In 1824, the U.S. agreed to a treaty with Russia that set the border of Alaska farther north.
The Monroe Doctrine
- In 1822, the U.S. recognized the new independent states of Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru
- In December 1823, President Monroe declared the Monroe Doctrine, opposing European intervention or new territory acquisition in the Americas.
- The Monroe Doctrine was prompted by Russian claims in Alaska and the Oregon Territory, as well as revolutionary activity in Latin America.
- U.S. Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams rejected a joint declaration with Britain that would oppose European intervention in the Americas, including efforts to restore Spain’s control, and that neither Great Britain nor the United States would have any territorial interests in the Americas because he sought eventual U.S. takeover of parts of the Spanish Empire like Texas.
- The Monroe Doctrine declared noninvolvement in European internal affairs but opposed any new colonies in the Americas.
- The Monroe Doctrine became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, asserting U.S. influence in the Americas.
