The War of 1812 began because Britain and France were attacking American ships and Britain was arming Native American tribes near Ohio. Though the US had few trained troops and untrained militia, and a small navy, it fought the more powerful British forces to a standstill over several years. Key events included failed invasions of Canada, naval victories by Oliver Perry and the USS Constitution, and the British burning of Washington DC. The war ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent and American victory at the Battle of New Orleans, though territorial issues were unchanged.

Two centuries ago, Dryden militia crossed the Niagara River into Canada in one of the early battles of this often forgotten war. Thomas Jefferson was wrong: conquering Canada was more than "a mere matter of marching". The attempt on Queenston failed, though British General Brock died in its defense.
Come learn about the perilous adventures of Dryden men and the state and national political whirlpools that were more hazardous than the Niagara River itself. Meet Governor Daniel Tompkins, namesake of our county, as he fought to keep New York State together in difficult times.
We like to remember "the rockets' red glare", our surprisingly good performance at sea, and Andrew Jackson's victory at New Orleans after the peace treaty was signed. We also need to remember our town's role in the war, even when it didn't go so well.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. The War of 1812
Background
• Britain and France are at war and attacking
our ships and impressing our men
• The British are also arming the Native
American tribes in the Ohio River Valley who
are attacking our settlers there.
• Congress (filled with War Hawks) wants to
defend our honor and gain more territory to
boot
• In June of 1812, President Madison declares
war on Britain
3. The War of 1812
Thank
you
Thomas
Jefferson!
At Issue
• The US has no real
Army – only 7000
trained troops
• There are only 50 –
100,000 untrained
militia on reserve
• Most of the
Revolutionary War
military leaders are
either dead or too
old to fight
4. The War of 1812
At Issue (continued)
• The US Navy has very few ships, but does
have a number of frigates which are much
faster and more maneuverable than the
traditional warship
• There is not unified
support for the War.
Federalists in the
Northeast oppose it
very loudly (this will
come back to haunt
them!)
Thanks again
Mr. Jefferson!
5. The War of 1812
So, here’s what happens in a
nutshell!
June-July 1812
• First move is to
invade Canada
• Madison sends
William Hull into
Canada, but it
failed
• British blockade
the US coast
6. The War of 1812
William Hull
• Hull was a Revolutionary War hero
• He was tried for cowardice and
convicted after he failed to attack the
British fort and retreated (saving his men
from sure defeat and annihilation)
• The sentence would have been a hanging
• Eventually, he was pardoned by Madison.
He died many years later, all the while
trying to reclaim his honor
(unsuccessfully).
BACK TO THE WAR!
7. The War of 1812
WAR AT
SEA
War at Sea

Lake Champlain (1814)
• But the blockade is still in
force and Britain is still
able to get troops in
23. The War of 1812
1813 - 1814
• War is going our way!
US troops march into
York (Canada’s capital)
and burn the Parliament
building. (This will
come back to haunt us)
• US Forces defeat
British and Native
American fighters at
Thames (where
Tecumseh is killed) and
Horseshoe Bend (where
Andrew Jackson gets
his start)
24. The War of 1812
1814-1815

concentrate on US
• Britain plans a three
part invasion up the

changes occurred
• Battle of New Orleans

• Andrew Jackson’s
forces defeat British

national hero
