If we did not fight, we would have been enslaved by the British. Which they would have taken the land that the united states taken and replace the U.S flag with the Union Jack flag. If they replaced the flag that stands for freedom and soon became the sign of peace, that is why I’m with what happens with the british. They impressed our ships and took the men that were on that ship. So they deserve whatever coming to them. There was a debate between the government if we should declare war or try to negotiate with them to see if they would return the men they took and the ships safely back to the U.S. But did that work nooo so we had to get our hands dirty, so we declared war on them.and right as we did so the british started to march through …show more content…

There could've been peace without this war but noooo,the government had to declare war on the British. So maybe those soldiers that died might have died in vain and they would never see their wives and the children would never get to see their friends or thie mothers again so the war was a mistake
