    Extractions: From the time of the American Revolution until the War of 1812, the main trading centres in Lower Canada were Quebec and Montreal; in Upper Canada, Kingston and Niagara (and later York ) were the main ports. For the most part, Upper Canada was administered by British army officers who were based at Fort Niagara Fort York Fort George Fort Erie , and Kingston . The lands were largely wilderness, and the condition of the few roads made land travel difficult. Mrs. Simcoe (wife of Colonel John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada) described them as "that terrible kind of road where the Horses’ feet are entangled among the logs amid water and swamps". As a result, most travel took place along the waterways of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence. In the years between the American Revolution and the War of 1812, many Loyalists (colonists who were loyal to the King) made their way north from the United States to settle in the Canadas and other colonies, in part responding to the Crown’s policy of land grants for Loyalists who swore allegiance to the King. This immigration caused the population of Upper Canada to grow rapidly from 14,000 in 1791 to 90,000 by 1812. The first task for these settlers was to clear the land for settlement. Mrs. Simcoe describes it well: "The way of clearing the land in this Country is cutting down all the small wood, pile it & set it on fire … The settler first builds a log hut covered with bark & after two or three years raises a neat House by the side of it."

    Extractions: After the Americans declared their independence, there was open conflict between the American colonies and Great Britain. The British withheld the West Indian trade from the Americans, and often subjected American vessels to searches for sailors who were ex-British subjects. In retaliation, the American Congress passed the Embargo Act in 1807 , which kept American ships at home, depriving both France and Britain of the American trade of which they had both grown dependent. The Act plunged the country into a depression, and many traders turned to smuggling goods were illegally traded to Canadians, who, being British, were capable of international trade. These further frustrations and the continued restraints imposed by the British on the Americans contributed to a declaration of War by the United States on June 18, 1812. The Americans sought reprieve from the British restraints by ousting the English from North America altogether. To learn about the War of 1812 from beginning to end

It was the war that, in the minds of many of Europe's elite, established the US as an independent nation. It also ended years of British intrigue among the Indians of the old Northwestern frontier (Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin). It was not until after this war, that the bulk of Indiana, Illinois, and parts of Ohio were safe for settlement. Our friends to the north have an entire mythology bui lt about this war. So, it's at least worth ONE web site! It also happened mostly in the US, and lower Canada, so almost all the battlefields are within easy reach of large parts of the US population. It is my intention to list the major sites, and, as I personally visit them, rate them for students of this war. I will also include a bibliography of good sources. I hope this becomes a useful site for people interested in the War of 1812. N.B. Since I do have a job, family, dog, and other pretentious to a real life, the sites visited section will increase rather slowly.

    Extractions: The War Of 1812 The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from June 1812 to the spring of 1815, although the peace treaty ending the war was signed in Europe in December 1814. The main land fighting of the war occurred along the Canadian border, in the Chesapeake Bay region, and along the Gulf of Mexico; extensive action also took place at sea. Background From the end of the American Revolution in 1783, the United States had been irritated by the failure of the British to withdraw from American territory along the Great Lakes; their backing of the Indians on America's frontiers; and their unwillingness to sign commercial agreements favorable to the United States. American resentment grew during the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) and the Napoleonic Wars (1803-15), in which Britain and France were the main combatants. The United States at first attempted to change the policies of the European powers by economic means. In 1807, after the British ship Leopard fired on the American frigate CHESAPEAKE, President Thomas Jefferson urged and Congress passed an EMBARGO ACT banning all American ships from foreign trade. The embargo failed to change British and French policies but devastated New England shipping. Later and weaker economic measures were also unsuccessful. Failing in peaceful efforts and facing an economic depression, some Americansbegan to argue for a declaration of war to redeem the national honor. The Congress that was elected in 1810 and met in November 1811 included a group known as the War Hawks who demanded war against Great Britain. These men were all Democratic-Republicans and mostly from the West and South. Among their leaders were John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, Henry Clay of Kentucky, and Felix Grundy of Tennessee. They argued that American honor could be saved and British policies changed by an invasion of Canada. The FEDERALIST PARTY, representing New England shippers who foresaw the ruination of their trade, opposed war.

    Extractions: American Treasures of the Library of Congress James Montgomery Flagg, creator of this illustration of Uncle Sam, was born on June 18 , 1877 in Pelham Manor, New York. Flagg claimed his illustration, an indelible American icon, had become the most famous poster in the world. An illustrator and portrait artist best known for his commercial art, Flagg contributed forty-six works in support of the war effort during the First World War. Leslie's Weekly first published his picture of Uncle Sam as the cover of the July 6, 1916 issue with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?". Over four million copies were printed between 1917 and 1918. The image was also used extensively during World War II. In 1961, Congress passed a resolution which officially recognized meat packer Samuel Wilson (1766-1854), who supplied meat to the army during the War of 1812, as Uncle Sam's namesake. Wilson is reputed to have been a man of great fairness, reliability, and honesty who was devoted to his country.
