Title || Accomplishment Details (who, what, when, where, why) || Social, Political, and/or Economic Each accomplishment will need to include an explanation as to whether it is social (for the people), political(for the government), or economic (for the financial well being  of the country). || Current Connection(s) For each accomplishment, you need to connect it to the world we live in today. || This was when the proclamation of war was sent to Britain. In the war of 1812, we fought because of unfair trade policies.. The war was with the UK. Technically, the UK won because they did what they wanted to do. But, really nothing at all changed hands, so no one won. || Political - It involves a war and the voting in congress. Economic - The war was primarily on economic reasons. Social - Wars are always social. Discussions, debates, and fleeing prove this. || This involves us because: 1 - We got our national anthem from this war when one of our soldiers was captured. 2 - This was the first war and we got much skill and experience from it. That helps, even today. 3 - This was a lot like the Korean war. No one really won. In the war of 1812, no people changed sides, no land changed hands, nothing. || This was when the First Bank of the U.S. was failing and was soon revived by James Madison when he created the Second Bank. People voted the First Bank out and it was replaced with the Second Bank. || Political- It involves the nation and the government and money. Social- It involves colonists and where they keep their money. || This got us to where we are now with an organized bank actually several banks and an organized way to hold money. ||
