THE WAR OF 1812 (PBS Documentary/2011) FULL
For two and a half years, Americans fought Against the British, Canadian colonists, and native nations. In the years to come, the War of 1812 would be celebrated in some places and essentially forgotten in others. But it is a war worth remembering—a struggle that threatened the existence of Canada, then divided the United States so deeply that the nation almost broke apart. Some of its battles and heroes became legendary, yet its blunders and cowards were just as prominent. The film shows how the glories of war became enshrined in history -- how failures are quickly forgotten -- how inconvenient truths are ignored forever.- published: 14 Mar 2014

War of 1812 in the Old Northwest
War of 1812 in the Old Northwest
In 1812, a very young United States of America had its sights set on expansion to the north and the west. But the British wanted to keep its former colony tightly contained. In the balance were the lands of the Northwestern Frontier. England's Canadian provinces wanted a buffer zone between their lands and what they perceived as a hostile United States. The native peoples who called this land their home, wanted it declared a self-governing Indian territory; an independent nation. The United States wanted to settle the frontier, as they felt they had been promised at the end of the Revolutionary War. The frontier was a gateway to further western expansion; a Great Lakes highway to natural resources; and a military challenge to the combatants. The War of 1812 would decide who controlled the lands of the Northwestern Frontier, and the future of a continent.- published: 14 Mar 2014

The War of 1812
The War of 1812
To get the best out of this video, try to answer the following questions while watching: *Who served as Jefferson's Vice President who soon became President after Jefferson's term ended? *How did England and France violate the Free Trade Policy? *Congressman from the south and west who wanted the U.S. to go to war with England and defend American free trade were known as: *Why was the US not ready for the War of 1812? *What was the purpose of the Treaty of Ghent and what effect did it have on the war? *Who led American troops to victory in the Battle of New Orleans? Here is the script of the video: Dewey- During Jefferson's presidency, James Madison served as his Vice President. James Madison later became President himself, and his term lasted from 1808-1816. He followed in Jefferson's small foreheaded footsteps and continued to reduce the government's power and size. During this time, the war between France and Europe continued to cause problems for America. England and France continued to violate the free trade policy by capturing and enslaving American seamen. Congressmen, going by the name of "war hawks" demanded war against Britain to defend their HONOR. This caused a surge of patriotism and Madison eventually asked congress for a declaration of war in June of 1812. This became known as the War of 1812(Big surprise). The US, however, was not ready for war because Jefferson had reduced the size of the army drastically just a few years back. Not only did the British army ravage Baltimore, but they had the audacity to burn down the White House. After the battle of Baltimore Francis Scott Key wrote a little ditty called "The Star Spangled Banner". Sound familiar? He wrote it emphasize national pride. Britain did not want to keep being bothered by America, so they agreed to sign the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 which ended the war with a truce, so they could focus on fighting France. Back in America the fighting continued because no one knew the treaty was signed yet.See if they all had cell phones, everything would have been so much easier. A true American hero by the name of Andrew Jackson, by the way he's the guy on the $20 bill, led troops into New Orleans and totally creamed the British troops. Because of the victory in New Orleans, and the news of the treaty that had come back; the Americans thought they had won the war. However, the treaty had had nothing to do with solving the violation of the free trade, which is what started the war in the first place! War money well spent.- published: 14 Mar 2014
