... The response to this document generated the Revolutionary War; America was fighting for its independence. Despite winning the war, Britain still refused to recognize The United State’s sovereignty. This became increasingly evident in the years leading up to 1812. The British failure to recognize the sovereignty of the United States catalyzed the war of 1812, America’s second war for independence. ... The United States attempted to profit from this war by remaining neutral and not affiliating with any one party. ...
The War Hawks, a group of young politicians who resented the strong British influence on the United States, used these occurrences as justification for war with Britain. ... The War Hawks were expansionists, they wanted to control Indian lands, Florida, and even invade British Canada. The War Hawks took advantage of the strong national unity and pressured Congress for war. Madison, then president, asked Congress for Declaration of War. The vote divided the nation along party lines, Federalist states had strongly opposed war, however, they were outnumbered.
