T
he War of 1812 with Britain resulted from issues of neutral world trade, conscription of U.S. men into the British Navy, and a rumored British alliance with enemy Indians. The American forces blundered badly on the battlefield, but succeeded on the seas. At the end of the war America earned a new foreign respect and cut the final colonial ties with England. While the War of 1812 may be the worst fought American war, it created a more unified nation, dedicated to making the United States a great country.
