Our exhibition War of 1812: Countering Peril on the High Seas and at Home chronicles the conflict from an American perspective primarily through illustrations of figures, battles, and landscapes from the era. The U.S. went to war over consistent dishonors it suffered inflicted by its aristocratic former colonial master, Great Britain. With resolution, the American government and people marshaled formidable maritime and land forces that achieved many momentous victories on the open seas and American soil. This military included a full composite of the American population, even those disenfranchised on account of their race or gender. This exhibition’s content brings to the forefront intricate characteristics and redefines national outcomes of this often-neglected historical struggle, for all to imbibe.
