Chapter 9: Increasing Conflict and War, 1805-1815 103 IV. Peace and the Rise of New Expectations A. New Expectations in the Northeastern Economy 1. Cut off from European-manufactured goods, Americans started to make more textiles and other items for themselves. a) The spread of textile manufacturing during the embargo and war eras was astonishing. 2. Factories in New England and elsewhere eventually supplied more and more of the country’s consumer goods. a) This changed economic roles as well as the hopes of many Americans. B. New Opportunities in the West 1. One of the designs behind the exploratory expeditions had been to gain entry for the United States into the burgeoning economy, most notably the fur trade, in the continent’s interior. 2. But American westward expansion posed a terrible threat to Native Americans. 3. Collaboration between the United States and the Native Americans helped to prevent renewed warfare, but at an enormous cost to the Indians. a) Many Indians were forced to cede their lands. C. A Revolution in the Southern Economy 1. The technological and economic changes that came in the war’s wake pumped new energy into the South’s economy. a) But the mechanization of the British textile industry in the late eighteenth century brought dramatic changes. b) The production of cotton cloth rapidly increased, and the need for raw cotton fiber grew. 2.

With the departure of the British naval blockade, cotton growing began to spread at a staggering rate. D. Reviving and Reinventing Slavery 1. Many southerners began to question the use of slaves as early as the 1780s. 2. Some southern leaders advocated abolishing slavery and transporting freed blacks back to Africa. 3. As a result of the booming southern economy after the War of 1812, African American slavery expanded as never before. 4. Specialized manufacturing in the North and large-scale commercial food production in the West permitted an intensified cotton industry in the South. a) This helped foster the increasing dehumanization of the peculiar labor system that drove it.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Although both France and Britain violated the neutrality of the United States, the nation chose to go to war only with England. What can account for this? DEVELOPING YOUR ANSWER: You should explore the following three factors in formulating your answer: a. The pressure of western settlers for war with England, explaining why the West was so hostile to the British. b. The highhanded behavior of the British on the high seas, exhibited in the practice of stopping neutral ships and impressing British sailors found on them, and in such incidents as the attack on the Chesapeake. c. Napoleon’s success in connection with Macon’s Bill No. 2. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. Chapter 9: Increasing Conflict and War, 1805-1815 2. 107 Enjoying fame as a result of their actions before and during the War of 1812, both William Henry Harrison and Andrew Jackson in later years became presidents of the United States. Describe how the records of these men in connection with the War of 1812 contributed to their reputations. DEVELOPING YOUR ANSWER: Harrison’s unyielding opposition to the Prophet and his brother, Tecumseh, led to the Battle of Tippecanoe, the name given by history to the confrontation at Prophetstown and its destruction. Once war broke out with England, Harrison led the campaign against Canada. Finally, late in 1813, he struck in Canada and defeated a British force there. His forces also killed Tecumseh. Andrew Jackson achieved fame first against the Red Stick Creek Indians and then against the British. He inflicted a withering defeat on the Red Sticks at Horseshoe Bend. He then invaded Florida (which was still Spanish) contrary to orders, and forced the British out of Pensacola. Later, in the Battle of New Orleans, Jackson achieved his most spectacular victory. In addition to the actual fighting there, you should demonstrate how he organized the city to oppose the British and took some unorthodox steps in the process. 3. Because the treaty that ended the War of 1812 left matters largely as they had been before the war, it would appear that this conflict had little impact on the United States. Do you agree? DEVELOPING YOUR ANSWER: It is true that the Treaty of Ghent did not resolve such problems (for Americans, at least) as impressment, the rights of neutrals, and the presence of the British in Canada, but the country did undergo change as a result of the conflict. For one, Americans felt more secure because of the elimination of the threat they thought that Native Americans east of the Mississippi River posed. The Red Stick Creeks had been destroyed militarily in the South, while in the Northwest Territory, Tecumseh had been killed and the Prophet’s revival movement had evaporated. Tecumseh’s death meant the end to his dream of a confederation to stop white expansion. The country also began to change economically. The embargoes of 1808 and 1813 had caused depressions, but they forced Americans to begin manufacturing on their own. Furthermore, the war had demonstrated the necessity for a better transportation network, something that would facilitate the movement of not only troops in wartime but also merchandise in times of peace. Finally, the Federalist Party went into a decline from which it never recovered. Federalists’ disenchantment with the war led them to contemplate the secession of the Northeast from the United States. This ruined them politically, especially when news of the victory at New Orleans and of the Treaty of Ghent spread across the nation. With the Federalists gone as an effective force, only one political party, the Republicans, remained. MAP EXERCISES 1.

They did not attack the institution of slavery. See page 243. c. Although the details are not clear, Burr apparently plotted against the United States in some way in what was then the Southwest. See pages 243-244. a. If anything, Burr’s loss of the election as governor of New York State impeded the plans of the Essex Junto. See pages 243-244. b. Burr did not have ties to Tecumseh and the Prophet. See pages 243-244. d. Burr was indicted for murder, not tried for treason, for killing Hamilton in their duel. See pages 243-244. 3. a. The British attacked the Chesapeake, disabled and boarded it, and seized four men. See page 246. b. The incident involved only one American vessel and not the American navy. See page 246. c. The engagement was between a British and an American ship. The French were not involved. See page 246. d. 4. The incident raised troubling questions about the British. See page 246. c. Britain seized (“impressed”) formerly British sailors who had become naturalized American citizens from American ships. See pages 246-247. a. Britain did not prevent American goods from entering England; it sought, instead, to prevent such goods from reaching France. According to the British, neutral ships (including American ones) could sail to Europe only if they first paid a transit tax in England. See pages 246-247. b. Britain had no reason to smuggle goods into the United States. For the British economic policy toward neutral nations, see pages 246-247. d. Although Britain practiced impressment on the high seas, it did not practice piracy against American ships. See pages 246-247. 5. d. Because there was a complete embargo on trade with Europe, the import of European manufactured goods ground to a halt. New American textile mills were erected. See page 248. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 110 Chapter 9: Increasing Conflict and War, 1805-1815 a. Although western farmers suffered considerably, they did rise in rebellion as farmers had during Shays’ Rebellion in 1787 and the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. See pages 247-248. b. Although the depression badly affected cities in the East and Federalists living there spoke openly of disobeying federal laws, rioting did not occur. See pages 247-248. c. Jefferson followed George Washington’s precedent and did not run for a third term. See page 247-248. 6. c. This became especially true after the Prophet abandoned his earlier message of passive resistance and began to call for resistance to white expansion. See pages 249-250. a. They viewed Prophetstown as a center of Indian resistance to white expansion. See pages 249-250. b. It was an Indian settlement, and its leader advocated rejection of white culture. See pages 249-250. d. The Prophet advocated a return to Native American culture, including religion. See pages 249-250. 7. c. a. See page 251. He promised merely to drop French restrictions on American shipping. See page 251. b. On the contrary, by taking advantage of Macon’s Bl 2, he could compel America to halt all shipping with England. See page 251. d. Napoleon did not employ such a threat. Macon’s Bl 2 in any case had nothing to do with the Louisiana Purchase. See page 251. 8. b. His militancy became obvious at Prophetstown in 1811. See pages 240-241 and 249-250. a. Harrison behaved aggressively toward the Indians of the Northwest, who included the Shawnee.

See pages 240-241 and 249-250. Because a, b, and c are true, this is the correct choice. See pages 248-249. a. Although this statement is true, it is not the correct choice. Western advocates of war with Britain believed that the British provoked the Indians on the frontier. See pages 248-249. b. Although this statement is true, it is not the correct choice. Northeastern Federalists did not favor war with Britain in 1812; they opposed the War Hawks who advocated it. See pages 248249. c. 10. b. a. Although this statement is true, it is not the correct choice. See pages 248-249. The victory was America’s most successful land battle during the war. See page 258. He rose to fame as a military hero. See page 258. c. The Treaty of Ghent was negotiated in Europe in late 1814; Jackson was fighting in the Southwest. d. Jackson was not part of the opposition with which Madison had to deal, which arose primarily among Federalists in the Northeast. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. Chapter 9: Increasing Conflict and War, 1805-1815 111 11. d. Napoleon’s defeat and subsequent exile enabled Britain to send many more troops across the Atlantic. See page 257. a.

Because this statement is true, it is not the correct choice. The turn to industry caused by the war contributed to economic self-sufficiency. See pages 258-261. 14. b. Whitney’s invention made raising cotton exceedingly profitable. See page 263. a. Under the leadership of Andrew Jackson, American forces defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans. See page 263. c. The western fur industry expanded because of such men as John Jacob Astor and Auguste Chouteau. See pages 263. d.
