Transcript The War of 1812 - emmi09

By: Andrew Efimoff
 The war of 1812 was a war with The United States (us)
fighting Britain. The United States defended it in the
end and signed a peace treaty during the last battle;
The Battle of New Orleans.
 There was 11 American Victories and only 7 British
Victories. (Below)
 America had 2,260 deaths and 4,505 wounded and
Britain had about 5,000 casualties which was a lot back
then in 1812, North America.
 The war of 1812 started in 1812 and ended in 1814
December 24th but a battle was still fought in New
Orleans because no one knew that the peace treaty
was signed at the time because mail was so slow back
then.
 Sir Isaac Brock – Was a leader of the British army
including natives, Canadians and took on 2,000
American forces.
 Tecumseh- Was a leader of the native army siding
with the British and fought to the death defending his
home land.
 Andrew Jackson-Was the leader of the last battle of
the war “The Battle of New Orleans” thousands of the
British army died but only less than 30 people died
that were Americans.
 The last battle of the civil war was the battle of New
Orleans. The Battle of New Orleans was a great
American victory, led by Andrew Jackson the
Americans had only about 26 casualties and the British
had thousands more. What made this battle ironic was
that the battle was fought after the peace treaty was
signed. No one new that the war was over because the
mail system was so slow so the war went on even
though it was over.
 I think that the British had the better advantages
besides being the away team in the war. The British
were the most powerful country at the time so they
enough ships in their navy to make a blockade around
the United States to stop trade so that the United
States cannot trade and boost their country. The
British also had many reinforcements, more men and
more gunpowder and technology to defeat are small
growing country.
 The War of 1812 started because of America and Great
Britain’s relationships started to get complicated. The
British started impressing American citizens on
trading ships and making them join their army. Also
the British were supplying the hostile native
Americans with weapons and aid. Also some of the
people in America wanted to capture Canada which
was owned by the British
 During The War of 1812 the White House (below) and
most of the other important buildings were burned
down by the British when they came to take the capital
city of America.
