Era of Expansion, War of 1812
This section is too abbreviated when describing the Americans' intent to declare war on Great Britain in 1812. The goal to use captured British territory as a bargaining chip is misleading at best and not the true intent. I strongly suggest that this section be reworded, as economically as feasible (possible in three sentences), to describe the war's true intent and the primary goals that were not secured. This is an excellent and remarkably brief source to understand the nature/intent of the Americans during this period. And consequentially supports the idea of expansion that this article seems to express. Torontofred (talk) 14:55, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
