Excerpt from The War of 1812 13 14: Between Great Britain and the United States; A Lecture Delivered at the Montreal Military Institute and Before the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal in February 1899

Scarcely a generation had passed away, since the prolonged struggle of the American revolution had ended, when there arose complications, as a result of the struggle which Great Britain had been carrying on for the liberties of Europe. The sources of the war of 1812 are clearly traceable to the events of the preceeding century. Sparks of hostility had remained smouldering between Britain and her revolted Colonies; and the mother country had possibly not yet entirely forgiven them, or got over the accrimony of the separation. Among a numerous class in the United States there existed a latent and easily excited hatred of everything British.
