Before his inauguration on March 4, 1801, President Thomas Jefferson asked

Meriwether Lewis, a 29-year-old career officer in the U.S. Army, to join him in

the White House as his personal secretary. Jefferson knew Lewis and Lewis's

family, as they were neighbors of his Monticello, Virginia, estate. Lewis, a

staunch Jeffersonian Democrat, tested the loyalty of top Army officers to the

President and reported back to Jefferson. Lewis was sent with sensitive

messages to the ministers of foreign powers, and generally assisted the

President. But most of all Lewis listened. Lewis absorbed Jefferson's ideas on

geography, science, politics, American Indians, and diplomacy. It seems that

Lewis was being groomed to lead Jefferson's expedition into the West.

American militia fighting on their own soil was arguably the largest technical factor in them winning the war. Americans knew the land they fought on, and therefore knew the best routes to take for supplies, troop movements, and where the British may have been hiding. American militias hired <em>frontiersmen</em>, men who had grown up in the woods and knew how to hunt and travel in them, to fight on their side of the war. This allowed for a huge advantage over the British in the ground battles of the war.

Americans also had something that the British did not: patriotism. The Americans knew that, if they did not win the war, they would have to go back to living under the unfair British rule, if they did not die that is. Americans were able to use this spirit to fight their war harder than the British did.

Americans did not fight England's war. They disregarded the European ideas of a gentleman's war and fought, as the British considered them, dirty. The Americans shot and killed commanding officers, shot and killed their horses, attacked at night and during meal and tea times, and other war strategies that went against how the British had been taught to fight their whole life. This gave Americans a large edge over the British in individual battles.
