Summary:\n\nThe War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American naval traditions.\n\nWhile the British and Americans were negotiating a settlement, Federalist delegates selected by the legislatures of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire gathered in Hartford, Connecticut, in a meeting that symbolized opposition to "Mr. Madison's war." New England had managed to trade with the enemy throughout the conflict, and some areas actually prospered from this commerce. Nevertheless, the Federalists claimed that the war was ruining the economy. Some delegates to the convention advocated secession from the Union, but the majority agreed on a series of constitutional amendments to limit Republican influence, including prohibiting embargoes lasting more than 60 days and forbidding successive presidents from the same state. By the time messengers from the Hartford Convention reached Washington, D.C., however, they found the war had ended. The Hartford Convention stamped the Federalists with a stigma of disloyalty from which they never recovered.

You could spend a few minutes learning about this subject.  Or you could spend a lifetime.  "War through the ages" gives a pretty good rundown though.

Wow, something that Rob Roy isn't an expert on.  You are just about as dumb as string.  I guess the schools in Scotland must not cover what we call "The War of 1812,"  I don't know what the English call it.  I assume in Scotland they call it "The war in the place that we were sent to do England's bidding (again) in 1812-1814."  Your English masters did manage to burn our capitol down, but we still b1tch slapped you.  \n\nWhy do you love Belgians so much?  Why did you edit that entry?  I was going to snidely quote your derisive comment about learning history back to you.

Many things were going on.  The United States was in a war with England in 1815 and that was the year that the U.S. beat England in the Battle of New Orleans helping to bring that war to an end. \n\nThe United States was also in a war with Dey of Algiers. This was known as the The Second Barbary War (1815, also known as the Algerian War) was the second of two wars fought between the United States of America and the semi-autonomous North African city-states of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, known collectively as the Barbary States. It brought to a conclusive end the American practice of paying tribute to the pirate states.  The U.S. Military leaders were Commodores Stephen Decatur, Jr. and William Bainbridge.\n\nEngland was again at war with Napoleon after his escape from Elba.  With the British (and their allies) winning the Battle of Waterloo Napoleon abdicates and is taken to the island of St. Helena.  Ionian Islands come under the Protectorate of Great Britain.  The Corn Law is passed in England to maintain the price of food stuffs.\n\nIn 1832 Andrew Jackson was reelected President of the United States.  The U.S. defeated the Sacs and Foxes in Black Hawk’s War.  The crisis caused by the Nullification Act in South Carolina (with a threat of secession) is averted.  \n\nIn England is the passage of the English reform Bill.  In short this bill readjusted the basis of parliamentary representation and extended suffrage.  \n\nA British fleet operates with Gerard in the reduction of Antwerp.
