The War of 1812
The War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain was sparked by trade issues, impressment of American sailors, and British support of Indian attacks. The conflict lasted three years and ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. The war hawks, led by Henry Clay and John Calhoun, played a key role in demanding war. The Battle of New Orleans, won by Andrew Jackson in 1815, marked a major turning point in the conflict.
