War

Strongest political support for declaring war against Britain came from the West and South. A crucial foreign policy goal for many ?war hawks? in the War of 1812 was the capture and annexation of Canada. A primary domestic goal of the War of 1812 for many of the ?war hawks? was eliminating the Indian resistance to further westward settlement. Besides creating a pan-Indian military alliance against white expansion, Tecumseh and the Prophet urged Native Americans to resist white ways and revive their own traditional culture. Native American resistance east of the Mississippi River was effectively crushed in the two battles of Tippecanoe and Horseshoe Bend. The War of 1812 was bitterly opposed by New England Federalists.

Ch. 3 Focus Questions A unitary system of government is one in which the central government appoints duties to smaller subsidized governments such as countries or provinces. In these governments, the smaller parties will rely on the funds of the central government due to the fact that they cannot tax. An example of a unitary government would be the United Kingdom. A co federal government is one in which the local governments retain power over the whole. One example is the European Union in which each country has control individually. A Federal government has specific duties appointed equally for the national and state governments, an example of which would be the United States.
