Battles - War of 1812

Homework:

Period A: Study

Period B: Study

Period C: Interpret this historians quote about the War of 1812

"The war of 1812 was the most peculiar conflict in our history. It began after the cause for it had ceased to exist. It was not fought for the reason declared. The nation's main military victory came after the peace treaty had been signed. The peace itself gave Americans none of the things they had fought for. But despite all these failings, the United States emerged from the war a prouder, stronger, and more unified nation."
