Evaluating Forsythe’s (2023a) Unit 6: War of 1812 Aftermath, I was left in grief at how the Indigenous peoples were treated by the government after fighting alongside them during the War of 1812. The War was devastating, and there were many casualties on the American, British, and Indigenous sides. However, upon analyzing the literature, it is obvious that without the Indigenous peoples supporting the British, Britain would have had significantly more difficulties and casualties. This is shown through the texts of the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (MAAND, 2012), as “First Nations warriors and Métis fighters were largely responsible for. British victories” (para. 2).
Naturalist John Burroughs once said of his friend Theodore Roosevelt, "Roosevelt was a many-sided man and every side was like an electric battery. Such versatility, such vitality, such thoroughness, such copiousness, have rarely been united in one man.” While many people know Roosevelt the war hero, Roosevelt the President, or Roosevelt the naturalist, his contributions as an author/historian shouldn’t take a back seat to T.R.’s numerous other accomplishments. In The Naval War of 1812, Roosevelt aims to craft the complete unbiased work on the naval combat between the United States of America and Great Britain from 1812-1815. When it was published in 1883 it became an instant sensation in the academic world.
D. Clayton James and Anne Sharp Wells inserts the reader profoundly into the time period that the world was at war in their book America and The Great War: 1914-1920. They take the reader through eyes of the Americans on how they looked at Europe engaging in their confrontations and through the eyes of the American soldiers who were prompted to learn how to fight after years of living their lives of normalcy. The minds of the United States citizens were not universally made up on the how they should enter the war. Many Americans and especially leaders throughout the country believed that the war was sickening and “a senseless war” to be fighting.
In the modern world, the click of a button can send an entire document from Belgium to America in seconds. In contrast, the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812, took six weeks to reach the United States. Surely, the British troops at the Battle of New Orleans would have been grateful for current technology to inform that the war was already over. Their loss at this historic battle serves as a basis for comparing the efficiency of the technological changes in transportation, industry and communication, of the following years. Although these changes connected the nation’s regions to each other, it concurrently intensified the differences of early American societies.
The Battles of Lexington and Concord are memorable because they were the beginning of the storied Revolutionary War. The battles took place on April 19, 1775, in eastern Massachusetts and many individuals on each side of the battle have left a strong influence our country today in their own separate ways. Among those people include the three famous riders Paul Revere, Samuel Prescott and William Dawes along with the well-known physician Dr. Joseph Warren. Revere, being the most famous out of the five, was the man who warned all locals that the British army was approaching. As the British set out for Lexington on April 18, 1775, General Thomas Gage had an American defeat in his mind (Kent 10).
What were the biggest downfalls or deficiencies of the American military system during the War of 1812? What attempts were made to correct these problems? Were they successful? The American military system had three major deficiencies during the War of 1812.
The French and Indian War began in 1754 (Check dates) a. The British fought against the French and its Native Indian allies for control of the Ohio River Valley b. A critical event in history, as noted by author, E.G. Storke in his book, The History of Cayuga County, “the French were vanquished and the sovereignty of the country conceded to England” A humiliating defeat for the French and its allies, Britain gained ---------------------- an enormous amount of territory
Prisoners of the War of 1812 were treated differently based on what side they were on. Nations provided for their own men that were being held, such as clothing and food were needed to be proved for there own men. However, British did not like the fact of having to send money to their men for food and clothing and other necessities, because they knew that the money would end up with the opposing side for their use. British prisoners were often split up between a variety of towns of different conditions. American prisoners were crammed into very small spaces.
To begin with, The War of 1812 to me is appealing because of the ambiguity. The reason most often given for The War of 1812 is the British Impressment of American Sailors; American Sailors would be kidnapped and be forced into British servitude. This disrupted American Shipping and is a blatant infringement of American Authority, but it’s a little more intricate than that. Second of all, there were many thousands of British sailors employed aboard American ships so many of the sailors that the British captured, were in fact, British. However, this gets to the larger point that Citizenship at the time was a pretty slippery concept, in particular on the high seas.
22. The War of 1812 was in my case a mistake because neither side of the war was ready. Britain had also seized american ships and we were being overtaken at Lake Erie by Canada from General Isaac Brock. Though after many failed attempts to take Lake Erie we had won the War of 1812 and gained Lake Erie. Though we won the war, it wasn’t over just two weeks laters the Battle of New Orleans had started but that was a whole different story.
World War one started in 1914, after Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated. They were assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, Bosnia. World war one was also known as, the war to end all wars. There were two major alliances, the Central Powers, Germany, Ottoman Empire, and Austrian-Hungarian Empire. The second alliance was the Allied Powers, France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, and United States.
Throughout history, there has always been a constant notion that wars will exist and end with some form of an alliance. The relationship between Africa and the United States proves this to be true through various battles and conflicts. For example, the Barbary War reflects this phenomenon. The Treaty of Tripoli, signed in 1796, reflected the peaceful relationship Tripoli, now Libya, had with the US and the promise that American ships will be protected from pirates when coasting across the Mediterranean; however, this treaty was broken when an American commercial ship was hijacked by the barbary pirates because the Americans failed to send payments demanded by the Barbary States. Known as the Barbary War (1801-1815), the two-part battle ended
When going back to the late 1700s, not too long after the ending of the Revolutionary War, is when it is first noted that the government had to step into the economy. Over the course of the war, America had very low funds and could hardly supply necessities for the soldiers. Due to this, Congress ended up accepting loans from France. By the end of the war, however, the United States could not afford to pay back the debts they now owed France. The government was aware by this point that they only had few options.
Since we learn our first history lessons, we are instilled with the belief of the lionized legacies of our founding fathers. We are taught that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and their fellow-founding fathers were heroic men fighting for a noble cause. We are supposed to ignore the fact that these men were little more than rebels filled to the brim with paranoia that used immoral tactics in war, and refused to pay their debts for the protection they had from Britain. People tend to give the colonies the heroic stance of the war, when in reality the cause of the war was a complex one with both sides displaying less than moral principles. The sides of the war were a money-hungry empire that was starving financially and
This laboratory experiment aims to investigate the effects of lyrics in popular music on the ability to recall information as a replication of a study conducted by Blanton, Elmer and Yates (2006). In this study, 16 participants, ranging from 16-18 years old of mixed gender and race taking the International Baccalaureate program at a private international school in Singapore, studied a list of 32 words while listening to music with lyrics, music without lyrics and then were asked to recall the words in silence. The independent variable is the two conditions: lyrical and non lyrical and the dependent variable is the number of correctly recalled words from a word list. The results were consistent with the results from the original study as the
