| Summary |
"A History of the War of 1812-15 Between the United States and Great Britain" by Rossiter Johnson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the complex causes and significant events leading up to and during the War of 1812, detailing the tensions between the United States and Britain. The book likely aims to provide readers with an understanding of the political and military dynamics that arose during this pivotal period in American history. The opening of the book delves into the causes of the War of 1812, illustrating sentiments from historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and discussing British disregard for American rights and sovereignty. It outlines grievances such as the retention of military posts, Indian alliances against American settlers, and the impressment of American sailors into the British navy. Johnson weaves together narratives about rising tensions and political divisions within the United States, setting the stage for the declaration of war. This groundwork establishes a foundation for understanding the ensuing military campaigns and the broader conflict between the young American nation and its former colonial ruler.
