[QUOTE="DrT999, post: 265692, member: 1935"] Very short answer: Other than talking about the fact the the British were impressing (kidnapping) American sailors to sail on British warships (which Americans always mention), we mostly wanted an excuse to expand into Canada and then the Caribbean. Pushed by the original "War Hawks" (led by Henry Clay & John C. Calhoun). We started rearming over a year before declaring war; that led to Eli Whitney applying the concept of interchangable parts to muskets, which then spread throughout US industry, kicking the industrial revolution up a notch [/QUOTE]
