The War of 1812 was caused by the tensions between France and Great Britain due to the French Revolutionary Wars. The consequence was that both France and Great Britain intended to restrict commercial maritime rights from the U.S. with each country. In general, U.S. did not consider this to be fair, as they intended to continue trading with France as they did before any conflict.
The supporters of the war were divided among the Americans geographically. People from New England were against it, while South and West supported it, thinking it would give good reputations for the U.S. abroad.
The war did not threaten US independence, but commercially, the war disfavored them. Native Americans were the ones to considered this a not justified war.
The French colonization strategy was based around working with natives, mainly trading with them. English tactics were to push out and destroy native populations in order to build a new British society.
The two warring classes of The Communist Manifesto are the bourgeoisie - the capitalists, or the owners of the means of production and the working class, called the proletariat, which works for wages and does not (directly or personally) own the company they work for.
