I. War of 1812A. Causes:
1- Madison claimed GB was hostile to USA:a. Impressment of American ships/sailors
b. Northwest Territory’s Native Americans were being furnished weapons by the British to use on Americans
c. Spanish (allies of GB) allowed run away slave haven in Florida and the threat that GB would attack the USA from Florida
d. American embargo hurt GB’s food supply and war with France made GB desperate
