CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF THE WAR OF 1812

Causes

 *British impressment of American sailors. (In 1807, while Britain was at war with France, a British ship fired upon and then boarded an American ship, carrying off four seamen. This act infuriated the American public.)

 *To try to keep America from trading with its enemy, the British blockaded U.S. ports

 *Nationalism (renewed sense of American patriotism)

 *Trouble with Indians (who were incited by British to harass American interests) and desire to conquer territory in (British) Canada


Effects

 *Treaty of Ghent (1814) ended the war
 
*The United States, a young nation, gained confidence and faith in the ability of its military,ushering in the “era of good feeling.” 

*The United States gained international respect for managing to withstand the British Empire.

*The Capitol and the president’s mansion were burned by the British during the war, which led to a rebuilding of Washington D.C.

 *Francis Scott Key was inspired to write a poem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” and in 1931, Congress designated it as the national anthem.
