The United States had many reasons for going to war in 1812: Britain’s interference with its trade and impressment of its seamen; Americans’ desire to expand settlement into Indian, British, and Spanish territories; aspirations to conquer Canada and end British influence in North America; and upholding the nation’s sovereignty and vindicating its honor.
However, nations go to war infrequently, and a more interesting question is why the United States declared war. While the young members of Congress—the War Hawks—were in favor of war, the nation’s two presidents during this era, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, were not. Both viewed war and its consequences—a standing army, increase in government size, and debt—as antithetical to republicanism. They were convinced instead that self-imposed restrictions on American trade would force Britain and France, who were fighting in the Napoleonic Wars, to respect American neutrality.
The New England states particularly feared great losses to their trade, and their representatives in Congress voted against war. Others argued that America was totally unprepared for war against the mighty British Empire. Perhaps, however, War Hawk John C. Calhoun glimpsed the real cause in his observation that the conflict was “a second struggle for our liberty,” to finish the struggle for our independence.
Throughout America, the number of participants in choirs has increased where more than 42.6 million individuals (both adults and children combined) are now considered to be part of some choral group.
There are more than 270,000 choral groups all across America (in 2009, as per the study). This participation is far more than any other performing arts.
1 in 6 Americans (above 18) sings in a chorus.
In 2009, the percentage has increased from 14% to 17%.
This information is taken from The Chorus Impact Study of 2009 which can be referred to for further details on Choral Singing and its impact on American life.
The study also examines the effect of choral singing on children and their development along with many other social aspects.
