5)What were some of the consequences/outcomes of the War of 1812?
The War of 1812 was a small war, but had huge consequences on the United States. The most
conspicuous casualty of the war was the Federalist party. Andrew Jackson and William Henry
Harrison emerged as war heroes, manufacturing prospered behind the British blockade. The RushBagot agreement between Britain and the United States severely limited naval armament on the
lakes. The most impressive by-product of the War of 1812 was the sense of nationalism that
emerged in America. A revived Bank was passed by Congress in 1816, a better national capital
was being constructed, and the army and navy were expanding.
6)What was the Monroe Era known as and why?

1)What did the War of 1812 do for nationalism? What is
nationalism? The War of 1812 would bring Americans such a
strong sense of nationalism that would have them taking action to
defend the authority of the federal government over the states.
Nationalism is a pride/love for one’s country and believing it is the
best in the world.
2)At the start of the was what was the condition of our army?
How successful were we fighting on land as compared to fighting
at sea?
The regular army was in poor condition on the eve of the War of
1812. Canada became an important battleground. America was
unsuccessful fighting on land but were much stronger fighting on
water. Despite these successes, Americans were not forced to face
the battle alone without help from France. The British attempted
on invading New York but Thomas Macdonough saved the state
from the invasion.
3)What happened as Britain attacked the Chesapeake and the
capitol? What overconfidence or error did Britain make as the
war headed “South”?
Britain attacks the Chesapeake (SHIP!) and begins to destroy
Washington, then overconfidently attacked New Orleans and
menaces the entire Mississippi Valley and end up suffering the
most devastating defeat of the entire war. Andrew Jackson
became a hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
4)What was the “Treaty of Ghent” and when was it signed? What
was our war slogan from the text?
MOST IMPORTANT: As a result of embargo acts US began
producing more finished goods in the North = More technology
and MORE Sectionalism BETWEEN (N) and (S) +
NATIONALISM and LESS ISOLATIONISM!!!
The Treaty of Ghent was signed on Christmas Eve in 1814 and
ended the war as a virtual draw. Relieved Americans boasted
"Not One Inch of Territory Ceded or Lost."

1812?
The War of 1812 was a small war, but had huge consequences on
the United States. The most conspicuous casualty of the war was
the Federalist party. Andrew Jackson and William Henry
Harrison emerged as war heroes, manufacturing prospered
behind the British blockade. The Rush-Bagot agreement between
Britain and the United States severely limited naval armament on

The most impressive by-product of the War of 1812 was the
sense of nationalism that emerged in America. A revived Bank
was passed by Congress in 1816, a better national capital was
being constructed, and the army and navy were expanding.
6) What was the Monroe Era known as and why?
The administrations of Monroe have been described as the Era of
Good Feelings.
These good feelings began fading in 1819, when a paralyzing
economic panic descended. The panic of 1819 was the first
national financial panic since President Washington took office.
The Bank of the United States had become deeply involved in
gambling on over-speculation in frontier lands.
9 frontier states had joined the original 13 between 1791 and
1819. Despite the inflow of settlers, the West was still weak in
population and influence. The Land Act of 1820 strengthened the
West by giving them cheap acreage, cheap transportation, and
cheap money.
The Tallmadge amendment stipulated that no more slaves
should be brought into Missouri and also provided the gradual
emancipation of children born to slave parents. Southerners saw
this amendment as a threat to sectional balance.
MORE KEYS***
The first protective Tariff of 1816 was passed by a nationalist
Congress. Henry Clay developed the American System in 1824,
radiating he nationalism of war-hawk days. The three
components of the system were: a strong banking system, a
protective tariff, and a network of roads and canals. An outcry for
better transportation rose significantly after the War of 1812.
This, however, would not be easy for all states to accomplish
especially with Madison vetoing money to the states for
improvements.
James Monroe was nominated and elected for president after
Madison. This win vanquished the Federalist party and left the
field to triumphant Republicans and one-party rule. Monroe
balanced two generations: the bygone age of the Founding
Fathers, and the emergent age of nationalism.
