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 situation that contributed to the Great Depression is that people in US speculate nore and more in shares due to the rising shares price caused by economic boom.
However when the economy slowed down people started selling their shares and the number increased in such expotential rate that the prices of shares fell sharply causing the Wall Street Crash.
Many banks then went bankrupt, factories shut down and inflation was high,unemployment also occured to many, and this situation is known as the Great Depression.
Hope it helps!
