The first section shows the causes of the war:

British interfere with American shipping
British kidnap American sailors
Americans believe British are persuading Native Americans to fight settlers
Some members of Congress, known as the War Hawks, want U S expansion into Canada.
The second section uses circle graphs to show that congress is divided over the first declaration of war: In the House, 62 percent were in favor, and 38 percent opposed. In the Senate, 59 percent were in favor, and 41 percent opposed.

Troops:
United States: 12,000 troops
Britain: 10,000 British and Canadian troops
Warships:
United States: 6
Britain: 584, 2 of which were available
Sailors:
