- Causes of war
- The War of 1812
- The War of 1812 was mainly caused by British impressment of American sailors and trade restrictions placed by the British. American sailors were captured to serve in the British navy and a treaty failed to address this issue. Americans were very angry at this. Trade restrictions were also made on American ships. They could only trade with Great Britain, not France. This resulted in less profit for American merchants.

- Trouble with Native American's
- !
- Before the War of 1812 the United States was expanding to the west in the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. Native Americans were being pushed out of land they had owned long before European countries claimed it. Some Native Americans such as Tecumseh and The Prophet began fighting back. A battle occurred and the Native Americans were defeated. Americans discovered that Native Americans were using weapons recently manufactured by the British. This meant that Great Britain was encouraging Native Americans to attack Americans. Unsurprisingly many Americans were outraged by this.

The last land battle of the war was the Battle of New Orleans. Andrew Jackson managed to defeat British troops with minimal casualties.
