The War of 1812 is often earmarked as a “forgotten war,” despite its other moniker as the United States’ “Second War for Independence.” The War of 1812 was part of a broader conflict between the British Empire and France that embroiled many, from European and Native American nations to the fledgling United States, for over a century. Even though those involved gained little at the war's end, the conflict established the United States Navy as a formidable force and emboldened its citizens to embrace westward expansion in the name of manifest destiny.
Explore the pages of this official National Park Service handbook, which contains listings of the parks in Canada and the United States that faithfully interpret this global conflict's often overlooked timeline. Containing 160 pages of detailed maps, richly colored paintings, and essential essays from renowned historians, this collection confirms that the War of 1812 is anything but forgotten.
