Hi there!
To match the following items:
1. Oliver Hazard Perry - Battle of Lake Erie.
2. Andrew Jackson - Battle of New Orleans
3. Thomas MacDonough - Battle of Lake Champlain
4. John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay - War Hawks
5. Francis Scott Key - "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Captain Oliver Hazard Perry's command fought a successful fleet action against a Royal Navy’s task force in the Battle of Lake Erie in September of 1813.
Andrew Jackson defeated British troops some weeks after the Treaty of Ghent had been signed. Even though the battle had not significance, made Andrew Jackson a hero.
Thomas MacDonough commanded the American naval forces that defeated a British fleet on Lake Champlain. The Battle of Lake Champlain was part of the larger Battle of Plattsburgh. This battle helped lead to an end to the War of 1812.
John C. Calhoun of South Carolina and Henry Clay of Kentucky played a significant role in leading the nation to war in 1812. Henry Clay led the War Hawks that advocated waging war against the British in the War of 1812. In the other hand, John C. Calhoun agitated in Congress for the War of 1812 to defend American honour against Britain.
Francis Scott Key was the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Fort Henry in 1814. He watched the 25 hours of the bombing of the Ft. McHenry while he was held upon the British attacking of the fort. After seeing that the fort was still flying the USA flag, the next morning he wrote a poem about the battle called “The Star Spangled Banner” which became the national anthem.
Hope it helps!
