No, the Revolutionary war was from 1776-1783, the War of 1812 was from 1812 to 1815.

The American Revolutionary War was in 1776, lasting until 1783. The War of 1812 was caused by British ships seizing American ships and soldiers, as well as trying to impede American trade with France. In 1812, America declared war against Britain.
The wars were similar - both were because Americans thought Britain was trying to control them, but they happened 30 years apart. The War of 1812 was likely declared much more quickly than a normal war because Americans remembered the misdeeds done to them up until 30 years before.

NO!
The Revolutionary War started in 1776. The War of 1812 started in.... 1812! However, they were both against the British, and we won them both.

The War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American naval traditions.

Nope, they're separate. Enter either phrase into Wikipedia, and you'll get a lot of information on both.
