QUESTION -
Why, in 1812, did the United States go to war to respond to threats to its trade?
ANSWER -
Americans Disagree over Joining the War. By 1812, impressment, interference with trade, and Native American raids on white settlements in the West—thought to be caused by the British—were major American issues. It seemed clear that the United States would have to back down from its demands on Britain, or fight.
