Notably, just four years from entering military service, he served in the War of 1812. He would also see combat in the Black Hawk War, Mexican-American War, Second Seminole War, and the beginning of the American Civil War. The War of 1812 was declared by President Madison on June 1st.

In 1793, Europe went into the war against revolutionary France, whereas “the United States had been the world’s primary neutral shipper” (Heidler 1). However, it did not last for long. As Americans provided the trade of sugar and coffee from the France to Europe, it created two issues: the trade lowered the price of sugar and coffee from Britain’s colonies; and the trade provided Napoleon with supplies (Boyer 232). Such conduct interfered with the Anglo-American relationship and created inconveniences for Britain. Consequently, Britain issued orders in Council, which regarded any trade with France and the countries of her control as illegal (Boyer 232).

The opposition to the Spanish American war was too little to deter the inevitable American success that came as a direct result of fighting the glorious war. However, there were some American congressmen, political organizations, and other American citizens that did not see eye to eye with the imperialist values that allowed for our triumph as it pertains to this glorious and successful war. The Anti-Imperialist American League which began in 1898 in direct contradiction to the war and included people such as Mark Twain, Grover Cleveland, Samuel Gompers, Jane Addams, and Andrew Carnegie, were opposed to gaining resources and serving prosperity to all along the way.
Something as vast and great as the United States of America could never have come about because of one man or one group. This required the amazing effort of many people and organizations that would ultimately create one of the most unique and greatest empires to ever grace the earth. One of these would be the Federalists Party. The Federalists party advocated for a more unified government and more government regulation that would help shape the country and leave a lasting impression. Alexander Hamilton along with James Madison and John Jay developed 85 essays in support of ratifying the constitution that appeared in newspapers and were eventually gathered as a book under the pen name Publius and was called The Federalist in 1788.
