Personal Reflection (Sean)

The War of 1812 should have all been avoided. In the end, it was all just a big waste of lives and resources for everyone. Lots of French, Americans, Indians, and English soldiers died in the process and a huge amount of money, food, and other resources were used on soldiers. This starved normal people and after the war the economy was still horrible so people stayed hungry and poor for a while. This war was also a waste because no one gained or lost any land in the end. In conclusion, The War of 1812 was just a major setback in my opinion.
