  1. 11/14– The War of 1812 Prof. Megan Garedakis

  2. Starred terms • Macon’s Bill No. 2 • Tecumseh

  3. James Madison • President after Jefferson’s second term ended in 1809 (handpicked by Jefferson to replace him) • Due to the inefficacy of the embargo placed against Britain under Jefferson, Madison adopted a new policy: Macon’s Bill #2 (or, no.2) which allowed trade to resume (with some restrictions) • In the spring of 1812, Madison re-imposed the trade embargo with Britain after an increase in British attacks on American vessels

  4. Tecumseh • 1768—1813 • Shawnee • Family history of defending their lands against white settlers, beginning in the 1780s • Allied with the British during the American Revolution • Did not sign the Treaty of Greenville (a document that ceded the Ohio River Valley territory to the U.S. • Younger brother, Tenskwatawa • Fought William Henry Harrison • We see this come to a zenith at The Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where Tecumseh’s brother, Tenskwatawa, led a confederacy of Native Americans against Harrison. Harrison ultimately won, but increased frontier violence resulted

  5. War of 1812(June 18, 1812 – February 18, 1815) • Origins: • The Chesapeake Affair • Britain restricted America’s trade with France • Forced recruitment of U.S. sailors into the British Royal Navy • Britain’s allegiance with Native Americans’ raids on U.S. citizens • Unites States possible desire to annex Canada and/or expand west • War with United States and its Allies (Choctaw, Cherokee, and Creek Allies) versus The British Empire and its Native American allies (Shawnee, Iroquois, et al.) • Ended with the defeat of Tecumseh’s confederacy and plans for an independent Native American territory
