War of 1812

The War of 1812 highlighted the political and regional divisions within the nation by showing the contrast in opinions about the war. A little more than half of the delegates of the senate and the house wanted to go to war, and a little bit less did not. Most of these delegates that were against the war were federalists, because that was the party's opinion of it. The war was also fought very poorly, because not enough effort went into it by all of the states. As a result of the poor fighting, the war ended as a draw in the treaty.
