This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Des Moines County, Iowa and Its People, Vol. 1 The treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain was con cluded at Paris on the 3oth of November, 1782. This treaty fixed the boundaries of the United States. That portion pertaining to its western boundary set out in substance, The line on the north was to pass through the middle of Lake Ontario, to the Niagara River; thence along the middle of said communication into Lake Erie; thence through the middle of said lake, until it arrives at the water communication between that lake and Lake Superior; thence through Lake Superior north and to the Isles Royal and Philipeaux, to the Long Lake; thence through the middle of said Long Lake and the water of communication between it and the Lake of the Woods; thence through said lake to the north western point thereof; and, from thence on a due west course to the Mississippi River; thence by a line to be drawn along the middle of said Mississippi until it intersects the northern - most of the thirty-first degree of north latitude. South, by a line to be drawn due east from the determination of the line last mentioned, in the latitude of thirty - one degrees north of the equator to the middle of the River Apachicola or Chatahouche; thence along the middle thereof to its junction with the Flint River, thence straight to the head of St. Mary's River; thence down the middle of the St. Mary's River to the Atlantic Ocean. It will be seen from the above described boundaries what is now called Lake Huron was called Lake Superior; and what is now known as Lake Superior was' called Long Lake in the Treaty of Paris. By the treaty the southern boundary line was Sixty miles and more north of the City of New Orleans, thus preventing the United States from having the free navigation of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, which subsequently caused so much inquietude to the people of the United States as expressed by President Jefferson, and which led to the acquisition of the territory known as the District of Louisiana.

Download or read book The Other War of 1812 written by James G. Cusick and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resurrecting a forgotten chapter in transatlantic history, James G. Cusick tells how, just before the United States went to war against Great Britain in 1812, an ill-advised invasion of a Spanish colony became a stage on which the young republic clumsily acted out its imperial ambitions and racial fears. With the halfhearted backing of President James Madison and Secretary of State James Monroe, a party of Georgians invaded East Florida, confident that partisans there would help them swiftly wrest the colony away from Spain. The raid was a strategic and political disaster. Few sympathizers materialized, official U.S. support dissolved, and an extended guerrilla war ensued. This was the "other war of 1812," or the Patriot War. Cusick, a lively storyteller as well as a meticulous scholar, conveys the savagery of the borderlands conflict that pitted American adventurers and anti-Spanish partisans against Spanish loyalists and their allies, who included Seminole Indians and escaped slaves. At the same time, Cusick looks at the American motivations behind the invasion, including apprehensions about Florida's growing population of unregulated blacks and geopolitical intrigues involving Spain, Britain, and France.

Download or read book The a to Z of the War Of 1812 written by Robert Malcomson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While some wars are remembered forever, others quickly fade away. The War of 1812 has all but disappeared from American history, which might lead one to erroneously assume that it was not terribly important. Although there was no clear winner, this conflict deeply affected all participants. The Americans were proud that they had taken on one of the world's greatest powers and were not crushed. Britain still managed to hold onto its colonies, strengthening both their loyalty and identity as Canadians. The only real losers were the native peoples, who saw their claims to the land further eroded. The war was far from dull. There was plenty of action on the diplomatic front, as well as stirring encounters on land and at sea, many of which are carefully described in the entries in The A to Z of the War of 1812. Others deal with the more significant political and military figures; ships and weaponry; and the role of the British, Canadians, Native Americans, and the fledgling and not yet convincingly "United" States. The introduction presents an overview of the war, while the chronology outlines significant events. An extensive bibliography provides access for further studies that will be useful to those discovering just how important this war was. -- Back cover
