During the first year and a half of the War of 1812 the United
States Army fought with little success against a professional
British Army and Canadian Militia who lacked troops and supplies
due to the ongoing Napoleonic Wars. In October 1813 Great Britain's
allies had defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig. With victory
in Europe behind them, the British began diverting battle proven
troops and supplies to North America. The perception of this policy
changed the complexion of the war to heavily favor the British in
numbers of experienced and battle hardened troops. By comparing the
Ninth and Tenth Military Districts the question this study will
investigate is, "How did the United States Army prepare to face the
Napoleonic War veteran British Army during the last year (1814) of
the American War of 1812?" The two factors that were most imposing
on them during this preparatory phase, besides the enemy, were
support and political-military relationships. Critical to this
study is the political--military relationship between the Secretary
of War and his military district commanders. Additionally, the War
of 1812 will be used as an example to help the United States
understand and gain insights from history about how to initiate
homeland defense today.
