Summary "The Second War with England, Vol. 1 of 2" by Joel Tyler Headley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work examines the causes, events, and aftermath of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview that combines various aspects of the conflict, including military, political, and social factors, presenting an in-depth account of the transformative events of that era. The opening of the work sets the stage by exploring the motivations and reasons leading to the conflict, detailing how Britain's oppressive actions and the subsequent responses from the United States ignited tensions. Headley discusses the stubbornness of British policy, including impressment of American sailors and violations of treaties, which led to a growing sentiment for war among Americans. He contrasts this with the political divisions within the U.S., particularly the animosity between Federalists and Democrats, revealing the complexities that shaped public opinion and government action leading up to the declaration of war. The initial chapters introduce significant figures and events that illustrate the volatile political landscape and foreshadow the challenges that would emerge as the conflict began.
