  5. Indian Raids in the North West • Several Indian tribes were unified in a war against the United States. • The Indians would raid small country towns and then retreat to the British forts where we couldn’t kill them. • Added to our resentment for the British retaining their forts

  6. Treatment of Loyalist • The U.S. government refused to return seized loyalist property • The 1783 Treaty of Paris stipulated that we would return loyalist property • Made British angry

  7. British Forts in the United States • The 1783 Treaty of Paris stipulated that all British holdings would be forfeited to the United States Government. • It wasn’t and the British held on to their forts. • Indians launched attacks from the British Forts • We wanted to control all of our land

  8. Want of Canadian Land • This was a minor cause of the War of 1812 • Some Americas wanted more room to expand into. Mainly for farming and agriculture

  16. Battle of New Orleans • Was fought after the Treaty of Ghent was already signed in Belgium • Propelled Andrew Jackson to the national spotlight and allowed him to start his political career • Let him wave the “bloody shirt” in his presidential elections
