- The Illustrious Initiation of 1812!
- Following the Battle of Tippecanoe...
- After marching our way to the junction between the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers, that "Prophet" and his group of Shawnees actually dared to attack our military camp! We, of course, managed to burn down their headquarters the next day, but still suffered almost 200 casualties nevertheless! Honestly Clay, I think you were right to suspect the British's involvement behind this Indian Confederacy.
- You see, Harrison! James Madison needs to declare war on these redcoats once and for all. It is the only way for the United States to defend it's honor, destroy Indian resistance on our frontier, and finally gain control of Canada. On to Canada we will go!
- Even the factions in my own party are raging for warfare! Are these "War Hawks" selfish for growth and power, or do they have the country's best interest in mind?
- Madison's Office
-
- WHAT AM I GOING TO DECIDE?
- As much as I despise the continuation of impressment on our sailors at sea, is it really wise for the US to brawl against a naval belligerent like Britain?
- I was so naïve to think that the British would ever reopen the Atlantic for neutral trade. Not only was Macon's Bill No.2 a failure, but the subsequent reestablishment of the embargo against Britain might lead to war once again...
- To encourage the overall growth and expansion of America, us Southerners and our brothers on the frontier need to rally for war against Britain. These tyrants have terrorized our citizens and sailors for decades on end, and retaliation is the only way to prosperity!
- WAR WITH BRITAIN???
- If the US conquers agricultural Canada and Florida, the Democratic Republicans will have substantial voting power!
- Fighting Mr. Madison's War is utterly irresponsible and detrimental to both the American economy and the life of our citizens!
- For years now, The British Empire has been arming hostile Native Americans on our frontier, impressing our sailors on the Atlantic, and have overall been extremely uncooperative with any peace negotiations the United States have put forth.
- And, after everything aforementioned, the United States WILL BE GOING TO WAR WITH BRITAIN!
- With consideration of concerns within the Democratic Republican party, and the potential growth of the United States agriculturally and economically, I truly believe that we all can finally prove the viability of American nationhood - democracy.
- Outside Parliament...
- Whatever the case may be, we NEED to show these incompetent fools the unparalleled power of Great Britain! After we deal with the irritating nuisance of Napoleon and France, we can fully focus our military on destroying the American spirit once and for all!
- Has the United States gone mad? After many arguments in Parliament regarding neutral rights of foreign countries, we finally withdrew our naval blockade on the Atlantic. Yet, for some reason, I have just received the news that we are officially at war with our former colonies' new nation once again!
