The War of 1812

In what ways does the War of 1812 change everything for the U.S.? What new questions must be answered? Why old problems have found solutions?

  1. After the War of 1812, the U.S. didn't take sides with any European nation after the conclusion was neutral in that no side won between U.S. and Britain. The U.S. became a nationalistic nation in that everything was unified. Writers began to use American scenes and themes in their stories. The U.S. was turning from agrarian to manufacturing. Problems like sectionalism between the north and south was becoming more clear, as with the "American System". It was profitable for the north with the protective tariff, national bank, and internal construction of transportation, but the south really provided all of the raw materials for manufacturing. Having a national bank instead of state banks was less likely to lead to depression in the economy as the nation works as a whole.

  2. I agree with Catherine. The end of the War of 1812 brought about unity. America worked together to fought away outsiders. It answered a lot of finanicial problems. but the new question would possibly be "Whats next........."
