It all started in 1809 when the embargo was replaced,
So the US could resume all their trade.
Because trade was such a need,
France decided to drop their decrees.
Then a warrior named Tecumseh wanted his culture to be saved
In 1811 when William Henry Harrison came to invade.
The Americans burned Prophetstown,
And the Natives lost some momentum when it went down.
Then the War Hawks came to be,
And wanted war against the British to drive out thee,
Which led to Mr. Madison to tell
And urge the Congress to declare war in 1812.
The invasion of Canada then fails,
Because he thought his larger population would prevail.
America then captured four British ships,
And with Tecumseh's death, the script did flip.
From Baltimore to New Orleans,
To the White House burning down,
The Americans showed their pride
And wanted to be the toughest ones around.
The battle of New Orleans was our greatest victory,
But bloodshed was tragic because it occurred after the treaty.
Delegated later met in Hartford to make a separate peace,
Unfortunately by 1820, the Federalist Party was deceased.
Then settlers poured into Florida and made the population grow,
Along with fugitives seeking safe havens wanting no one to know.
All these people caused tensions to rise,
And the Spanish decide to make a compromise.
The US decided to keep everything fair,
And signed the Adams-Onís Treaty to leave Texas there.
