The War of 1812 Reading Fluency Passage | Reading Level Grade 6th and 7th
The War of 1812 was a 32-month military conflict between the
United States of America and
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , its North American
colonies and its Indian allies. The outcome resolved many issues which remained
from the American War of Independence, but involved no boundary changes. The
United States declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade
restrictions brought about by Britain's continuing war with France, the
impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support
of American Indian tribes against American expansion, outrage over insults to
national honor after humiliations on the high seas, and possible American
interest in annexing British North American territory (part of modern day
Canada) which had been denied to them in the settlement ending the American
Revolutionary War. CWPM 131
With the majority of its army and naval forces tied down in
Europe fighting the Napoleonic Wars until 1814, the British at first used a
defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of
Upper and Lower Canada . The Americans gained
control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario ,
and ended the prospect of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state
in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In
September 1814, a British force invaded and occupied eastern Maine . This territory, along with parts of Michigan and Wisconsin ,
were seized and held by the British and their Indian allies for the duration of
the war. In the southwest, General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military
strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. With the
defeat of Napoleon in 1814 on April 6, the British adopted a more aggressive
strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. The British victory at the Battle
of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington , D.C, but they were repulsed in an attempt to
take Baltimore .
American victories in September 1814 repulsed the British invasion of New York , and the British suffered a major defeat at New Orleans in January
1815. CWPM 340
The war was fought in three principal theatres. Firstly, at
sea, warships and privateers of each side attacked the other's merchant ships,
while the British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the United States and mounted
large-scale raids in the later stages of the war. Secondly, both land and naval
battles were fought on the American–Canadian frontier, which ran along the
Great Lakes, the Saint Lawrence River and the northern end of Lake
Champlain . Thirdly, the American South and Gulf
Coast also saw major land battles in
which the American forces defeated Britain 's
Indian allies and a British invasion force at New Orleans . Some invasions or counter
strikes were unsuccessful, while others successfully attacked enemy objectives
and took possession of opposition territory. At the end of the war both sides
signed the Treaty of Ghent, and all parties returned occupied land to its pre
war owner. CWPM 489
In the United States ,
late victories over invading British armies at the battles of Plattsburg,
Baltimore (inspiring their national anthem, "The Star-Spangled
Banner"), and New Orleans produced a sense
of euphoria over a "second war of independence" against Britain .
Peace brought an "Era of Good Feelings" to the U.S. in which
partisan animosity nearly vanished. CWPM 546
Why do you think the American declared war and how did the war change American history?
