“Of the complicated European systems of national polity
we have heretofore been independent. From their wars,

except as they appeal to our sympathies in the cause of
human freedom and universal advancement.” —President

Causes and Effects of the War of 1812

American ships because neither side wants the
other to be helped by American trade.
“IMPRESSMENT”- British force US sailors into
service in the navy.
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

stops, America begins trade, England gets mad.

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.
