{"title":"Military: War of 1812","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain, in a conflict that would have an immense impact on the young country’s future. Causes of the war included British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navy’s impressment of American seamen and America’s desire to expand its territory. The United States suffered many costly defeats at the hands of British, Canadian and Native American troops over the course of the War of 1812, including the capture and burning of the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., in August 1814. Nonetheless, American troops were able to repulse British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans, boosting national confidence and fostering a new spirit of patriotism. The ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on February 17, 1815, ended the war but left many of the most contentious questions unresolved. Nonetheless, many in the United States celebrated the War of 1812 as a “second war of independence,” beginning an era of partisan agreement and national pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArticle Details: War of 1812: History.com Staff, History.com, 2009, \u003cem\u003eWar of 1812\u003c\/em\u003e, \n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/19th-century\/war-of-1812\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/19th-century\/war-of-1812\u003c\/a\u003e, May 01, 2018, A+E Networks\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"101-t0839","title":"Madison County, New York Soldiers in the War of 1812","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The late William Tuttle, one time Madison County Historian compiled a file of those Madison County veterans of the War of 1812 from various sources: pensions, claims against the State for clothing\/equipment, etc. for which the individual soldier paid out of pocket; local sources such as cemetery inscriptions, newspaper items et al.

From this point, they retained their influence over the Indians, instigating and assisting the tribes' continuing hostilities toward the American settlers. By 1811, Tecumseh and his brothers had reached maturity and continued the struggle to regain their old territorial boundary of the Ohio River. Their actions to launch a universal war with the other Indian tribes against the American settlers resulted in a call for volunteers in Kentucky.

These organizations were comprised of local residents who were frequently called upon to put down Indian attacks or slave uprisings. At the outset of the Revolution, these largely untrained militia regiments were swept into a larger organizational structure and pitted against some of England's finest soldiers. By nothing less than a miracle, the Americans succeeded in defeating troops who were far better trained and outfitted. The county militias continued to play an active role during the War of 1812 and later, when slave uprisings became of grave concern. Many of the men who served in Stafford's militia during the years immediately preceding the War Between the States were willing to fight to defend their soil from a new enemy. By this time, the importance of having well trained soldiers had become obvious. After the war, the Stafford's 45th Regiment was not re-established and faded into obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA substantial collection of Stafford County's militia records are housed at the Library of Virginia in Richmond.

The purpose of this book is to identify Ohio residents who served in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812 and not to create a detailed service record for each individual man. There are mistakes!

That is too bad, because it was actually one of the boldest gambles in the existence of the United States. In this book, Miller applies his analytical skills to shed new light on, and offer insights into, what transpired in three critical, interrelated victories in the War of 1812: the Three Strikes that form the core of this book. These three, interconnected victories forced the British to abandon their military presence west of the Appalachian Mountains and south of the Great Lakes. These three victories led to the death of the key Indian leader, Tecumseh, the breakup of the Indian Confederacy and the loss of thousands of warriors as British allies. The resultant exclusion of Britain from the Great Lakes supply route led their greatest military hero, Lord Wellington, to recommend negotiations to make peace with the Americans without any territorial demands. Miller's analytic approach offers the reader a new perspective, which focuses first on an interrelated series of historical events and then analyses such concepts as causes, judgment, environment, consequences, etc. that come into play.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters include: The Three Primary Reasons That the U.S. Declared War on Britain; The Three Bad Assumptions Made by the U.S. President and Congress; Food, Guns and Germs; Three Strikes and the British Are Out; Luck and the Three Strikes; Three Strikes and Peace Negotiations; Postwar U.S.-British Relations; and, Long Term Strategic Consequences.

The Virginians returned home filled with the pride of accomplishment: that under the most extreme conditions, bordering on the abominable, most of them had come through, done their duty proudly-they had marched with General Leftwich to defeat their nation's enemies. They had come through perilous times, and, indeed, in their general's words, they had become \"real patriots and heroic soldiers.\" Approximately one third of the book is devoted to a roster of the troops.

Marylanders, by birth, had migrated to all parts of the United States by the start of the war.

There were ten Marylanders who graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, and who served in this war. There is also one woman, Mary Harker, who may have been a washerwoman in the 14th Infantry.

Also important for families who moved away, since often in the registers it notes their destinations. The Loudoun County militia journals list the names of hundreds of men who lived there from 1793 until 1824. There are company rosters naming the officers, sergeants, corporals, drummers and clerks. Officers of higher rank and assignment are frequently mentioned. One can also find the names and locations of home and tavern owners who provided space for companies to muster and rooms for boards to convene in. Although there is little family information, some militiamen are further identified by the listing of their fathers' or masters' names beside their own.

By definition, a casualty is a military person lost by death, wounds, injury, sickness, internment, or capture or through being missing in action. This book is based on available records and it is not a complete list because many men who were wounded in battle in 1814 treated themselves and fought on; thus, many were not recorded as such on company muster rolls. Still others would be recorded if they were unable to serve for a period of time and would be listed as sick or absent in hospital and even more men reported their wounds only when they were in the process of applying for government assistance in their old age, such as for bounty land or a pension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are 2,890 soldiers and seamen listed in this book; many with biographical data. Entries are listed alphabetically by surname. The amount of information given in each entry varies greatly; however, entries typically include: surname, given name, rank or occupation, illness or injury (if stated), cause and date of death (if applicable), and source of information. Entries may also contain any combination of the following: age, height, place of birth, place of service or work, date of enlistment, years served, date of discharge, place of discharge, name of heir (spouse or sibling or children), prisoner of war data, and much more. \"1812 Monuments to the Soldiers\" follows the entries and gives detailed accounts, with photographs, of: Aquila Randall Monument, Armistead Statue Monument at Ft.
