War of 1812...divisions divisions

The war of 1812 strongly exemplified political and economic divisions in the United States in several ways. First, the decision to go to war was hotly debated and argued over. The votes in congress were unprecedentedly close, which shows how pointed the debate and the political sides were. As for economics, it was largely an industrial debate. Those who owned small subsistence farms or small export farmland did not want to fight the war of 1812. The demonstration of power that was the reason for the War of 1812 was not a necessity to them. However, there were some entrepreneurial frontiersman that wanted British Canada for frontier work. This is a subdivision within a preexisting division, further showing the rift in the country.
The Frontier was not the only place of division. New England, a shipping epicenter wanted to fight for a free sea and damned the War of 1812. But many people, evidently, still wanted to crush Great Britain and finish them off in the America's once and for all.
