Americans from trading with them– Board American ships searching for
British deserters

American Points-of-View
• Some American politicians pushing for war with Britain (“War Hawks”)– Great, cheap farmland in BNA– Feel USA not respected by Britain, not
treated like equals (boardings)
• New England strongly against war– Want to trade with British, not fight– Would remain neutral, continue
trading with Maritime colonies

First Nations Point-of-View
• Tecumseh’s Alliance– Made of several American First
Nations groups– Led by Shawnee chief Tecumseh and
his brother Tenskwatawa the Prophet– Want to stop American expansion
into territory south of the Great Lakes and secure it for themselves

“mere matter of marching”– Population: USA 8 mil., BNA 0.5 mil.

Isaac Brock and Tecumseh (p. 321)• Brock in charge of Upper Canada military• “Most of the people have lost all
confidence. I however speak loud and look big.”
– Upper Canadians maybe convinced to stay loyal by initial victory
