Life in America 1812-1900
Madison's presidency was conquered by foreign affairs. Both Britain and France dedicated damage on American shipping, but Britain was more offended, one reason was because with the greatest navy it was more effective and the other reson because Americans were very lets just say thin-skinned to British insults to national honor. Certain expansionist basics looking to both Florida and Canada began to press for war and took advantage of the issue of naval protection.

Under the situation, it was amazing that the United States won in staggering through two years of war, eventually winning important naval successes at sea, on the Great Lakes, and on Lake Champlain. On land, a British raiding party burned public buildings in Washington, D.C., and drove President Madison to...
Almost there
I can see where the author is trying to take his audience in the essay, but the run-on sentences, poor grammar and lack of structure throughout the paper made it difficult to read. The facts were well presented (references should be included), so it is evident that extensive research was conducted. The paper has potential if the author tries again after reviewing some writing aids to clean up the rambling sentences and choppy structure. Okay.
