After the war of 1812‚ America underwent some changes as a nation. In comparison to the country prior to the war‚ the United States initially appeared to be more united in the sense that only one party ruled‚ but in reality‚ this only increased factions within the government due to sectionalism and the court.

War of 1812 There were many reasons for why the war started. One reason why the war started is the British were being unfair to the Native Americans. In the fall of 1811 William Henry Harrison led U.S. troops to victory in the Battle of Tippecanoe.
