The Napoleonic Wars Drag the USA into the War of 1812

After downsizing the US Navy and Army, the Federalists went on the attack and blamed Thomas Jefferson for the impressment of our sailors.


After the British impressments and the US found out the British signed treaties of alliance with Tecumseh and the Tradionalist natives, President Madison had what he needed to convince Congress for war.
