The War of 1812
 
A conflict that changed America forever

In 1812 America entered into a second conflict with England.  This second conflict was the War of 1812, which lasted from June of 1812 until 1814.  In this war America proved itself to be a country that could contend with the world's super powers of the time.  Weak America was able to defend itself from the strong superior nation of England.  This war had a great affect on American people as their faith in America grew.  By 1814 it was clear that America was no longer a weak, inferior, collapsing attempt at a country but a resiliant nation with great potential.
