СКАЧАТЬ The War of 1812 in the West: From Fort Detroit to New Orleans БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: The spring of 1812 found the young American republic on edge.The British Navy was impressing American seamen with impunity at an alarming rate while vicious attacks on frontier settlements by American Indians armed with British weapons had left a trail of fear and outrage.
As calls for a military response increased, Kentucky, the first state west of the Appalachians, urged that only by defeating the British could the nation achieve security. The very thought conjured up embellished memories of the American Revolution, and once war was declared, many soldiers believed that the “Spirit of 76” would lead them to victory. But the conflict quickly transformed from a patriotic parade to a desperate attempt to survive against a major military power.
