Produktbeschreibung

A young republic stands toe-to-toe with the world's greatest empire. Cities burn. Flags are stitched and songs are written. On lakes and oceans, wooden hulls shatter under iron shot. Out of the smoke, a new American identity takes shape.

Learn about the War of 1812 is your concise, highly visual guide to the war that tested-and strengthened-the United States. Inside you'll find a clear storyline from causes to consequences: maritime disputes and western pressures, early setbacks and stunning naval victories, the Chesapeake and Canadian campaigns, the burning of Washington, the defense of Baltimore, and Andrew Jackson's triumph at New Orleans. Each chapter blends brisk narrative with "Need-to-Know" sidebars, maps, portraits, ship and unit profiles, and quick timelines that make complex events easy to follow.

Meet the people who defined the conflict-sailors on the Great Lakes, Marines at Bladensburg, Dolley Madison rescuing Washington's portrait, Indigenous leaders navigating impossible choices, and diplomats hammering out the Treaty of Ghent. Learn how the war reshaped politics at home, improved U.S.-British relations, and inspired the Star-Spangled Banner-leaving Americans more unified and confident.

Perfect for students, educators, and curious readers, this book turns a pivotal but often-misunderstood war into a vivid, memorable journey. If you want the big picture and the essential details-fast-open these pages and watch 1812 come alive.
