Description:This comprehensive study examines the War of 1812 in the context of the history of the American republic between 1783 and 1830. The author locates the origins of the war not so mush in the issues traditionally emphasized by historians -- such as the Anglo-American debate on maritime rights -- but rather in James Madison's thinking about the political economy of the British Empire and in his reaction to growing factionalism within the Republican party.Exploiting hitherto little used military records, this book discusses Madison's unsuccessful attempts to conquer Canada between 1812 and 1815 and his troubles in mobilizing American society for war. because Congress, after 1789, refused to reform the state militias in accordance with the wishes of the early Presidents, the Madison administration could neither raise a regular army nor effectively employ the militias to execute their policies. Added to these problems were the difficulties of waging war through the agency of local leaders who disagreed with them about military needs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
