6/18/1812 0:00:006/18/1812 0:00:00War of 1812The War of 1812 was important because it was caused in part by disagreements over shipping and trade on the high seas.
It was also fought to decide how much influence the United States would have in foreign affairs.
3. The War of 1812 could be called the "war of poor communication." Two days before the
declaration of war, Great Britain agreed to repeal the naval laws which were chiefly responsible
for the war. Speedy communication would have also eliminated the greatest battle,
the Battle of New Orleans, that occurred 15 days after a peace treaty had been signed.
4. The actual fighting occurred in America and in Canada		http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/the-war-of-1812-british-forces-burning-everett.jpghttp://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/the-war-of-1812-british-forces-burning-everett.jpgthe war of 1812
