Among the bustling port cities of the early American eastern seaboard, Baltimore was the only one that was firmly in the Democratic-Republican camp at the onset of the War of 1812. The young and dynamic boomtown stood antithetical to the aged, ordered, and settled civilization of southern Maryland whose economy was founded in the eighteenth century on the backs of African slaves and tobacco production; a crop which remained during the grain transition of northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania farmland at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Baltimore, since 1798, had been a Democratic-Republican bastion and, starting in 1801, the Maryland state government soon followed. Though the Federalists remained powerful in southern Maryland and on the Eastern Shore, there were less Federalist representatives in the state legislature as compared to the populous Democratic-Republican districts. A…

Madison and other at the time viewed the War of 1812 to restore confidence in the republican experiment. In hopes to keep the neutrality America had tried to not pick sides between warring European countries. Although their goal of remaining neutral was noble it had brought them international derision. Madison and other Republicans came to the conclusion that the only way to restore the viability of American nationhood was through war. Their thinking behind this idea was that if America could not protect itself the ideas it championed such as republicanism and democracy would be scoffed at by the rest of the world. The War of 1812 allowed the US to show the world the that the Republican system has a force and duration worthy of enterprise. The last main action taken by the United States to enhance its interest in World affairs was the Monroe…

Winning the War of 1812 against Britain, brought a sense of unity and peace to Americans. The national economy was flourishing. As a result of the war Americans experienced a “new surge of patriotic nationalism…” This period was known as the “Era of Good Feelings.”…
The period after the War of 1812 is labeled as “Era of Good Feelings” which is accurate culturally but it’s proved economically and socially false. Therefore the idea of the “Era of Good Feelings” only actually applies to the growth of intense nationalism and not the political, social, and economic aspects from 1815 to 1825. Nationalism, which emphasizes the pride a person has for their nation, supported the label “Era of Good Feelings” but sectionalism showed differences in regions and therefore contradicted the label.…
Feelings of patriotism and a sense of pride arose after the War of 1812. As America fought its Second War of Independence, it set itself on a path to industrial power and regained its sense of nationalism. Regional economies in the country lead to differences between the North and the South. The industrial revolution, which had begun in Britain, lead to the prosperity of manufactured goods, and with Jefferson’s Embargo Act of 1807 and Slater’s invention of the Spinning Jenny, goods were starting to be manufactured in America itself. While cash crops did not sell well in the North, the northerners turned towards industrial goods, while in the South, the cotton gin was booming, thus expanding slavery in the south, as well as cotton production. This…
The war of 1812 took place in America and Canada. The Americans fought with the British and natives of the land. When the US and congress declared war on Great Britain, they may not have realized that their success seemed to be doomed to begin with. There was strong lack of support from American citizens to go to war, this was because of several reasons. Divided forces from different states caused problems and didn’t want to cooperate or complete certain tasks. Ports were not being allowed for war usage because citizens didn’t feel the need to go to war. There was a huge national debt to pay off from the previous war with Britain, and finally because of political differences. This all ties in with he lack of support from citizens not wanting…

The War of 1812 lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815. The war took place in Atlantic, Central and Eastern North America and Pacific. There were many causes. On the foreign side, France and England had been attacking American merchant ships, forcing impressment. Impressment is forced recruitment into Britain's Royal Navy. It is much like kidnapping or enslavement. For many years, Washington stayed out of the French Revolution. In 1793 they drafted the Neutrality Proclamation of 1793. Through Washington and Adams’ presidencies, war was avoided. There were several events that caused the war; impressment, embargoes, the War Hawks of the south and west being convinced the Brits were arming and helping the Indians. Henry Clay and other young congressman used the Native American issue to really scare people and make a big push for the war they wanted.…

One of the causes of the War of 1812 may have been an American desire to annex British Canada in order to stop the Indian raids into the Midwest take Britain from North America, and gain more land. The American victories at the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of the Thames in 1813 ended the Indian killings and removed one of the reasons for annexation. The American failure to occupy any significant part of Canada prevented them from annexing it for the second reason, which was largely ended by the Era of Good Feelings that started after the war between Britain and the United States.…
