Compare And Contrast The British And Native Indians

In the War of 1812, there were many participants, some winners, and a loser. The British’s and the Native Indian’s perspective show a different side of the War of 1812. In fact, the British and the Native Indians were allies, but there were two complete different outcomes for both society.
The British was in a total war with France, and when they needed ways to fund for their militia, so the British impressed many American soldiers, for example, the impressment of the Chesapeake boat, brought many horrors toward the Americans. The Americans saw the impressment as a threat, pressed the Embargo Act, and was later persuaded by the Warhawks to start war against the British. The British’s main focus was to defeat France, however America came in the way, so the British had no choice, but to fight the Americans. There were many British soldiers stationed to be in a specific place to attack the Americans. The Native Indians thought that their union could be stronger if they had support from the British, so the Native Indians and

the British became allies. The Native Indians has their own reasons why they were against America. The Native Indians formed their society before America was discovered. When the United States wanted to take over the land that belonged to the Native Indians, the Native Indians were enraged; this was their “land,” so how dare the United States try and take over the Native American’s land? Tecumseh, a Native Indian leader, thought that if they make one strong union like the United States had done, they could defeat the Americans and keep their land. The Native Indians received weapons to fight the Americans which were supplied by the British. As the Americans found out, they were angry that the Native Indians and the British were against the Americans. As the “surprise attacks” from America or the battles that America wanted to fight against, the British and Native Indians held their head high to try and defeat the Americans. After the last battle of the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans, everything came in an abrupt halt for the Native Indians.
For the British, the War of 1812 was a victory. France was their biggest opponent, however the British managed to overcome the French and the Americans. However, for America, the War of 1812 was a victory as well. The United States and the British were very proud of their accomplishments. For America, a sense of patriotism increased and manufacturing goods increased as well, meaning for merchants has a lot of new raw goods to sell. The British felt a strong sense of pride and patriotism that boosted their country and economy. To America and the British, this war was an astounding victory for both sides.
However, the Native Indians had a very melancholy ending.

The Native Indians were allies with the British and the British won, except this was the exact antithesis for the Native Indians. The Native Indians fought really hard, but after the death of Tecumseh, the Native Indians took the fall. After the war, despite the “help” from the British, the Native Indians lost their land and culture. In fact, many Native Indians did not know what to do and how to survive because they had to give up their land to America and their culture. Many of the Native Indians grew old and died peacefully like their culture. The spirits of the Native Indians might have been forgotten, however the loss of the battle of the Native Indians will never be forgotten. All the Native American wanted was to keep their land, but they couldn’t stop America. The Native Indian community were brought together as a strong union to do the best they could and they learned a few

lessons.
In the War of 1812, it brought countries together and made unions stronger. There is not an exact winner, but the real loser of this battle is sadly the Native Indians. However, the British made a strong comeback and was one of the winners of this war. The different perspectives of the War of 1812 brings out a strong vision and anticipation of how the war would’ve been like in the year of 1812. And many questions are now unanswered about the War of 1812 because of these different perspectives and outcomes of this war.
