1812's War Primary Causes

Hello this is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live about the primary causes of the war of 1812. Even though Paris signed the treaty in 1783, the United States and the British still really didn’t like each other. Some significant things that have gone wrong between them are Britain’s blockade of Europe, First Nation’s allies, and the influence of the War Hawks. The British wanted to have a war with France in 1893. But we’re afraid that Napoleon led soldiers had already crossed the English Channel, and are going to invade England before they can invade France. They needed to protect their shore with strong navy. More and more sailors left the British ships for American merchant navy because there was better pay and better living conditions. This made the British ships very poor in condition. This American Merchant Navy’s that the sailors fled to we’re for business and trade; not what the British had in mind. The British started searching for abandoners on ships that they had stopped at sea. Since the American Navy stole their sailors, the British started taking American sailors as their own. This infuriated the United States. Britain decided to blockade Europe to stop them from trading with France. This was supposed to make Napoleon not want war, but hurt the United States as well, they lost a great trading system with Europe. The War Hawks we're a group of politicians that we're American. They we're from the southern and western states. They wanted to expand the United States. But didn't like that the First Nations and the British North Americans we're sort of in their way. They we're in the Ohio Valley. They decided to take over such places to clear and expand The United States, instead of having part of Canada there. The British convinced the western First Nations to keep a chunk of land for themselves so the United States could not expand. The Americans accused the British, but realized that they we're always behind Tecumseh's decisions about land. He wanted the First Nations to stop selling their land to the Americans.
