  • War of 1812 1 War of 1812
    War of 1812 1 War of 1812 The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions because of Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and over national honour after humiliations on the high seas. Tied down in Europe until 1814, the British at first used defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario, and destroyed the dream of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In the Southwest General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed the British to capture and burn Washington, D.C. American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans. The war was fought in three theaters: At sea, warships and privateers of both sides attacked each other's merchant ships. The British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war.

  • Produced by Len Hendershott
    Figure 1 - Joann and Michael Knox in Ottawa - 1990 Produced By Len Hendershott http://hci-itil.com/memorybytes 416-690-9304 This ancestry report was prompted by a rather extensive collection of undocumented photos in the possession of Joann Knox and comprised several distinct eras in the Knox-Marcellus family lineages. Many predate 1900 and severall are tintype. Amongst this heirloom was a paper family tree probably produced during the 1940s by the Marcellus sisters - Amelia Belle, Helen, Doris and Ruth. It detailed generations of the Marcellus family back to Elida Auley Ouderkirk (1792-1878). This ancestry was recorded and further researched on ancestry.ca to produce a family tree composed of over 4,000 names. The lineage was traced back to the von Tschudi ancestry in Switzerland around 1200 AD. It is recorded as Family Hendershott.ren Many of the photos have been attached to members of this tree. Their identity is often inferred through the use of a "picture grid" whereby those captured in a photo are compared to family members as recorded in Family.Hendershott.ren by age and known associations. In some instances written identities were cited on the backs of the photos to facilitate identification. There are many unknowns in these photos. I have placed many of these on my Google home page at https://plus.google.com/stream/circles/p48a9f7c5891e8461?partnerid=gplp0 .

In short, no one won a thing. Impressment, a major cause of the war, was not even mentioned [this, and the following information, was copied from: www.pbs.org/wned/war-of-1812/essays/ We would like to take the treaty-ghent]. time to Thank all James Madison had an opportunity to end the War of 1812 almost as soon as it began. The British had repealed the Orders in Council – rules that curbed American trade with Europe – and thus NY Daughters one of Madison’s major reasons for war was now moot. If the British had foregone the right to impress American sailors, Madison could well have gone back to Congress with the suggestion that hostilities cease immediately. However, the British considered impressment their right by for attending the many custom, and believed it essential to their naval might. And so James Madison took his country to events commemorating the war. In January 1814 Madison agreed to peace talks in the neutral city of Ghent in Belgium, and sent 200th Anniversary off a curious collection of intellectuals and politicians to run the negotiations.

  • Women, Gender, and War During the War of 1812 in the Great Lakes Region
    RHETORIC AND REALITIES: WOMEN, GENDER, AND WAR DURING THE WAR OF 1812 IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION Sherri Quirke Bolcevic A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2015 Sherri Quirke Bolcevic All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The bicentennial of the War of 1812 has reinvigorated interest in the conflict, but there are still elements of this war which remain unplumbed. Within the locality of the Great Lakes region, using diaries, journals, and letters as my main primary sources, I explore how gender dynamics established by whites prior to the War of 1812 influenced a mindset that said women were incapable of fruitful participation in warfare. In contrast to those who argue that women’s participation in the War of 1812 was extraordinary, I argue that women participated by any means that they were permitted. Although this participation occasionally flew in the face of traditional gender boundaries, many women aided in war efforts through everyday means, though they ultimately received little acknowledgment because their actions were reinterpreted through a lens of domesticity. My research shows that women were a significant part of the War of 1812, despite gendered thinking which regulated them to the role of the victim. iv This is for my grandmother, Blennie Quirke. I love you, Grandma. Thank you for giving me this chance. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My deepest gratitude goes to Dr. Rebecca Mancuso, who inspired me to pursue this project and then supported and guided me through its completion.

    New York State Assembly 2011 AnnuAl RepoRt committee on touRism, Parks, ARts And spoRts development Margaret M. Markey Chairwoman Sheldon Silver Speaker December 15, 2011 The Honorable Sheldon Silver, Speaker of the Assembly Legislative Office Building, Room 932 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Silver: I am pleased to submit the annual report of the Tourism Committee for the 2011 legislative session. Included herein are details of the Committee’s work on legislation, as well as on other initiatives the Committee has undertaken during the year. Additionally, you will find the Committee’s legislative outlook for the 2012 legislative session, throughout which time we will continue to seek creative and innovative solutions to overcome the challenges that will surely face us in this difficult economy. The scope of issues before the Committee is diverse, encompassing the stewardship of the State park system, the advancement of the arts, the promotion of tourism, the protection of athletes and the preservation of recreational activities for citizens and visitors alike. The work of the Tourism Committee is a crucial element in the overall economic development strategy of the State by creating jobs and generating spending; our work serves to make New York State attractive to residents, tourists and businesses. In November, the Committee held a hearing to acknowledge and discuss the impact of the tourism industry on job creation and the economy. The Committee received testimony from representatives of the many different industries that comprise our State’s tourism economy, which I believe has the potential to create even more new jobs and spending in all regions of our State.
