Causes and Effects of the War of 1812

American ships because neither side wants the
other to be helped by American trade.
“IMPRESSMENT”
Britain and France keep violating American
neutrality.
Congress passes the Embargo Act of 1807, which
prohibits trade with ANY foreign country.
The Act does not hurt Britain or France; just New
England merchants

President
 Also a
Democratic –
Republican, like
Jefferson

Calhoun from the South, argue for war with Britain.
•U.S. settlers move into western lands and are attacked by
Native Americans using British-supplied weapons.

declares War.

hasten my departure, and is in a very bad
humor with me because I insist on waiting
until the large picture of Gen. Washington is
secured, and it requires to be unscrewed
from the wall. This process was found to be
too tedious for these perilous moments; I
have ordered the frame to be broken, and the
canvas taken out; it is done--and the precious
portrait placed in the hands of two gentlemen
of New York, for safe keeping."
