Perhaps no conflict in American history is more important yet more
overlooked and misunderstood than the War of 1812. Begun by
President James Madison after decades of humiliating British trade
interference and impressment of American sailors, the war in many
ways was the second battle for United States independence. At the
climax of the war -- inspired by the defeat of Napoleon in early
1814 and the perceived illegality of the Louisiana Purchase -- the
British devised a plan to launch a three-pronged attack against the
northern, eastern, and southern U.S. borders. Concealing
preparations for this strike by engaging in negotiations in Ghent,
Britain meanwhile secretly issued orders to seize New Orleans and
wrest control of the Mississippi and the lands west of the river.
They further instructed British commander General Edward Pakenham
not to cease his attack if he heard rumors of a peace treaty. Great
Britain even covertly installed government officials within
military units with the intention of immediately taking over
administrative control once the territory was conquered. According
to author Ronald J. Drez, the British strategy and the successful
defense of New Orleans through the leadership of General Andrew
Jackson affirm the serious implications of this climatic -battle.
Far from being simply an unnecessary epilogue to the War of 1812,
the Battle of New Orleans firmly secured for the United States the
territory acquired through the Louisiana Purchase. Through the use
of primary sources, Drez provides a deeper understanding of
Britain's objectives, and The War of 1812, Conflict and Deception
offers a compelling account of this pivotal moment in American
history.
