    About this ebook

    A carefully researched work that shows how William Henry Harrison, thanks to the now seemingly racist plans of Thomas Jefferson, catapulted himself to the Presidency based on his greed for land and desire to push Native Americans from their lands.

      In 1953, historian Samuel Flagg Bemis wrote that the main cause of the War of 1812 was the intense hunger for land of settlers in the American West, with the hope that the United States would annex Canada. There may have been settlers that wished for this to happen, but to say that this was the driving force behind the United States’ June, 1812 declaration of war against Great Britain ignores key reasons for the declaration, such as impressment, British economic sanctions against the United States, made under the Orders in Council, and the British alliance with Native Americans that caused a war within the war. When the War Hawks urged Congress toward the war, they spoke first and foremost of maritime and economic issues and secondly, of the Native American issue. Westward-moving settlers did have a seemingly unquenchable thirst for more lands, but there were far too many fertile lands within the United States that were being forcefully ceded by Native Americans and were yet to be settled.

      Other historians have argued that the desire for Canada was nearly universal in the West but was disguised behind a purposely exaggerated need to seize Canada solely to end British-aided Native American attacks on the United States. When this issue was debated in Congress, it was determined that the United States should seize Canada, but only to hold it hostage to exact British compliance on all the issues previously mentioned. Congress deemed the United States Navy to be far too inefficient to withstand an oceanic war with Great Britain, requiring that a blow be made
