¶ … War of 1812 and how the United States and Great Britain managed the effects of the War of Independence -- military and political perspective requirements for the degree of AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY © Copyright by Terry Wayne Huffstickler ACKNNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank the faculty at American Military University, without their unwavering support and commitment to student learning I would not have been able to complete this degree. Several professors have provided more insight than others but all have been helpful and I have learned much during this process. Dr.

Don Sine has been the most influential, his combination of having a military and civilian background enabled him to provide a perspective that was most beneficial to those of us Service Members. I have found the instruction throughout this program to be thought provoking and challenging but at the same time rewarding. This program has not only maintained but stirred the desire to study history even more so and provided a greater appreciation for the discipline.

ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The War of 1812 and how the United States and Great Britain managed the effects of the War of Independence -- military and political perspective American Public University System July 20, 2014 Charles town, West Virginia Professor Don Sine, Thesis Professor The purpose of the research was to show the political impact on the military concerning the War of 1812 if any at all. It was established that the President of the United States was the Commander in Chief of America's military.

Early on in our nation's military history our president and congress played a greater role in the daily operations of the military, especially during war time. I tried to establish this interaction along with the relationship between the United States, Great Britain and other nations throughout this coarse work. Great Britain was not willing to accept the status that or acknowledge the independence of American.

The need to save face from the American Revolution was a key determining factor for Great Britain to reengage the Unites States thus leading to another defeat and acknowledgment of the independence of America.
