For the first time in Russian historiography, the book examines the attitude of American society to the war with Great Britain in 1812-1815. Events fit into the context of the Napoleonic Wars and chronologically coincide with the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaigns of Russian troops. The perception in American historiography and historical memory of the people of this war is very contradictory, from praise as the Second War of Independence, which created the national anthem or the image of Uncle Sam, to a sharp criticism of an unnecessary and meaningless conflict, "War Mr. Madison", which was started for party goals and Personal ambitions, during which the Americans survived the national shame, and their capital was burned by the enemy. An analysis of the state of American society on the eve and during the Anglo-American war is given, and attention is paid to discussions in the American Congress. For the first time in its history, the United States declared war on another state, and congressmen supported the president. It is interesting to material about Russia"s attitude to the Anglo-American conflict and the positions of the Americans in connection with the Patriotic War of 1812.
