media type="custom" key="13639932" James Maddison came up with the [|Non-Intercourse Act], which replaced the Embargo Act. The main reason is that the British still kept impressing American ships. This would soon start the War of 1812, along with some other reasons. This was made clear in the declaration of war. The British in Canada were arming the Natives with guns; almost as if they were telling them to start a war and fight for them. There were also a lot of “war hawks” in congress who wanted the war to start. This is a lot of what started the War of 1812. The [|Treaty of Ghent], in 1814, ended the war. From the treaty though, we didn't really gain or lose any land. But, the British did leave the United States all together. We also got complete controll of the Great Lakes.
