War of 1812

War, war resembles death and death resembles fear. About a year our American ships were importing goods to the United Kingdom. England at the time was at war with Napoleon, the French general. England was desperate for troops so the seized our ships and forced the crew into fighting for the English Navy. Since this incident accord America established an embargo with transporting goods. Of coarse I was for the war, meaning that I was a war hawk. The government then established war against England. During the war I was drafted in with Captain William David's company under Major Fields at Standley's Muster Ground in Darlington County. Since that time I was shot in the right hand and lost three fingers. The war left a scar throughout the rest of my life.
The importance of this war however was the fact that the government built a unified nation out of American citizens with diverse interest and concerns. They did this by conflicting to the problem, which in this case was the fact of the British harassing the American ships crews into joining the British Navy. In order to protect the American citizens the government had to establish an embargo to prevent other manufacturing transportation to the United Nations. England didn't respond with this to well, which resulted in war. The war started because of the American citizens concern with England's actions. The government dealt with the citizens concern by going to war. Throughout the beginning of America the government built the nation out of the citizen's interest and concerns by understanding or resulting the conflict of the problem. From what I've seen the government has been successful throughout the war because they understood the resulted conflict and they convicted the problem in order to help the American citizens. This is why the American government has been so successful over the years because they listen to their humble citizens.
