Pulitzer Prize winner, David McCullough, authored the intense and well-researched novel 1776 about the tumultuous times of American independence from the British Empire. He recreates scenes of heroic battles as well as dramatic encounters between diplomats with outstanding details to support his writing. In his acknowledgments, McCullough informs the reader that the material in his novel came from over 25 libraries, archives and historic sites in both the United States and the United Kingdom. McCullough’s history lesson in his novel 1776 does more than just teach the reader; it puts them into the setting of pre-revolutionary war America.…
The War of 1812 was fought between the new and fragile United States against the British Empire, Canadian Provinces and a few Woodland Indian Tribes. The War of 1812 was an attempt by the Americans to establish their dominance in North America by conquest of the British owned Canadian Provinces. With an under supplied and undermanned army and navy the United States managed to scrape up a stalemate with the British. The British, with the defeat of Napoleon, turn back toward the Old World to establish their presence as the greatest empire in Europe. The Treaty of Ghent was signed by both, the British and United States, to agree upon an armistice and return all rightful land and prisoners back to their respective country. The War of 1812 had major effects in the aftermath of the war both domestically and in foreign affairs. The United States, coming off a decent result on land and even more importantly on the seas against the British Empire, gained more respect in the community of European nations. Inside its borders, America had the greatest nationalistic movement it has seen since the forming of the Union. Nationalism boosted the economy, the arts, and transportation. "The American System" was formed and an anthem was created that Americans can sing to show their patriotism.…

I believe that the forces that led Americans to declare war on Britain in 1812 was when Britain took over many ships of ours. They took our men as well.

Before the Pontiac Rebellion, France And Great Britain were involved in different conflicts. One of the largest and well known was the Seven Years War in which England gained the victory. Indians fought on both sides for England and French, but mostly on the French side. However Indians main priority was always to gain independence.

Many people consider the war of 1812 to be the war, where people died for nothing, money was spent foolishly and battled were led incorrectly. However, it wasn’t all for nothing.

With a Short Essay format, I want you to discuss the consequences of the War of 1812. Notice the plural, "consequences." Among other things you will learn, I want to make sure you include some discussion about the Shawnee leaders, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa. OMG!!! Not another war! Is that all History is, war, war, war? Certainly I don't believe that, but it is also true that the consequences of wars are significant and even fascinating at times (Notice I underlined 'consequences.' Certainly I want you to say something in this essay about the causes and the war itself, but by the assignment's title (war of 1812 and nationalism), I want you to see where the focus of your essay needs to be. And that focus needs to make an appearance in a carefully thought out and constructed thesis statement. In other words, do you reading and thinking BEFORE you compose a thesis and begin writing. Using that material, as well as what you have been learning about the economic growth and change of the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, explain why a large majority of northerners were steadfastly against the expansion of slavery into the new territories to become states. How did the existence of slavery threaten average white guys? I want to see specific information from the reading in your post. Make sure you understand Helper's argument and the evidence he uses to support it. During the first half of the 19th century, machine and factory use grew popular. The Embargo Act of 1807 started the war of 1812. Discuss this in your discussion board and you should look at other web sources to add to your posts. PBS ran a NOVA video this last summer entitled "What Darwin Never Knew". You can find that video at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/darwin-never-knew.html . This web page has lots of information that explains evolution theory and it is a good addition to this NC Live video in developing an understanding of how genes adapt to change through time.…
Native Americans took to different sides of wars due to their economic alliances and fought with different European countries. They played a key part in gaining land for Britain after the French and Indian war. This war led to Britain's control of Canada and Florida, clearly increasing the strength of the colonies and economy in…
During the Civil War the Native Americans had to choose which side to support. The opposing sides created conflict between them. Most tribes that owned slaves sided with the confederacy. The Native Americans also sided with the south because of the distrust of government. The government had forced them onto other land and provided no protection from the tribe they were invading. During the Civil War only two Native Americans were named generals. In the end…
