19. Trace the events that led up to Congress

Event
Explanation
Seizing of American ships
Britain and France were at war again, and neither country wanted the U.S. to trade with the other.
Both countries seized American ships to hurt each others trade and economy. Both countries
ignored America’s claims of neutrality.
British impressments
The British navy needed more sailors. British began impressment of men
which is the practice of forcing people into military service. Britain boarded
American vessels and took Americans. The U.S. was furious, and many
demanded war.
Embargo Act
Jefferson and Congress passed the Embargo Act hoping to hurt France and
Britain’s trade. The Act did hurt the two countries but it hurt the U.S. more.
Many Americans protested the act. An embargo is a ban on trade.
Increased conflicts with
Native Americans
In the Ohio Valley, Native Americans were still resisting American
settlement. Violence led to warfare.
War Hawks
War Hawks were members from Congress in the South and West that were
wanting to go to war with Britain. They were persuasive and outspoken.
Many northerners believed the people and the President was influenced by
the War Hawks.
British blockade of
ports
To cut off American trade with France, British warships blockaded some of
America’s ports. This sparked war fever among many Americans.
James Madison
Dolly Madison
• The Embargo Act had been repealed and replaced.
• 20. James Madison – won the election of 1808 to
become the 4th President of the United States.
(Republican)
Madison’s votes came
mostly from the South
and the West.
21. June 18, 1812 – President Madison asked Congress
to declare war on Great Britain.

22. Disadvantages / American Problems
*The US was unprepared militarily:
Had a 16-ship navy vs. Britain’s
800 ships.
*Financially unprepared
*Relied on volunteers
*Regional differences
Jefferson had reduced military spending which left
the army and navy unprepared for war.
By spring of 1814, Britain and its allies had defeated
Napoleon.
Now Britain could send more troops to fight the U.S.
The White House Is Burning;
The British Are Coming, AGAIN!!
23. In 1814, the
British captured
and burned
Washington D.C.
24. Dolly Madison is credited with
saving many important
documents along with a
portrait of George Washington.

the British for 25 hours, finally forcing them to retreat.
Francis Scott Key watched the
battle from the deck of a
prisoner-of-war ship.
25. The War of 1812 inspired
Francis Scott Key to write
the Star Spangled Banner.
In 1931, Congress adopted it as
the national anthem.
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air…
-- Francis Scott Key
26. The Treaty of Ghent signed on Christmas Eve of 1814,
ended the War of 1812.
27. Effects of the War:

Concepts: The big ideas, important
generalizations about a topic
A concept is an idea that is timeless, abstract, broad
and can be shown through a variety of examples
How do I know that
Natural resources

of
people?
29. Paragraph
• Analyze the concept of communication. Write a
paragraph describing how lack of
communication during Madison’s presidency
has convinced many historians that the War of
1812 should have never happened.
