HIstory question! war of 1812?

Question

did america achieve its objectives by the end of the war? to what extent were they achieved? (was it worth it?)

Answer 1

Let's see...Brit Navy found out we had superior fast frigates the hard way, no more impressment of US citizens, a battle that was fought produced our National Anthem, no more Brit arming of indians on the frontiers, the US not retaken as a Brit colony, and best of all, a future President tested under fire...Andrew Jackson. Yep, it was worth it !

Answer 2

one objective was achieved, that the US seemed more like an actual country

is any war ever worth it? depends on if you got shot or wounded or sick or came back a different person (the largest battle of that war was fought after the war was over, the treaty had been negotiated but the armies hadn't gotten the word ; it was the Battle of New Orleans)

Answer 3

the war became into fought by using fact of a few small problems with britain and don't have been fought. britain mandatory some greater infantrymen so as that they took some american ones. then canada stirred up some worry between the indians and the white american settlers. the individuals concept that the british have been helping the indians attack individuals. it quite wasn't meant to be fought by using fact jackson did not be attentive to that we had already signed a peace treaty. the consequence became into that there became into now a peace treaty between britain and usa and it additionally set a sparkling boundary between canada and america. haha i in basic terms have been given complete doing this.

Answer 4

depends on your view point. the country achieved its objective in the sense that yes, they gained respect, not only from great britain, but from the rest of the world as well. also, great britain stopped arming the indians (so they'd attack the american frontier). in another sense, however, nothing was gained nor lost (land, money, people, etc.) from the treaty that ended the war; the treaty only stated that fire must seize from both countries.

Answer 5

Yes
We got the famous Johny Horton Battle of New Orleans song.

Answer 6

for decades after the war, the usa would use the threat of letting loose american pirates on the very vulnerable british shipping fleets all over the world in order to get what we wanted...

Answer 7

and we got the chance to rebuild the White House.

Answer 8

impressment didn't fully stop, but the british did evacute the frontier and the forts.

Answer 9

The U.S. was a bit lucky, as Britain had their hands full fighting Napoleon.
