美国独立的第二场战争
Second War of American Independence
在1812年6月18日，詹姆斯麦迪逊签署了议会对英国正式开战的声明，是什么原因呢？
英国和法国自1793年开始就断断续续有零星的战争，美国与这两个国家都有贸易往来，成为居中的尴尬角色；英国封锁了法国的所有海港、坚持美国的船必须先停在英国的港口、并在继续前往法国之前支付相关费用，英国同时也介入美国邻居加拿大的外交事务。
1812年的战役被称为美国独立的第二场战争，这场战争延续了多久、又是为何而战呢？
On June 18, 1812, James Madison signed Congress's official declaration of war against England. Why?
Great Britain and France had been at war, off and on, since 1793. The United States, which traded with both countries, was caught in the middle. Britain blocked all French seaports and insisted that U.S. ships first stop at a British port and pay a fee before continuing to France. Britian was also interfering in the affairs of Canada, America's neighbor.
The War of 1812 came to be known as the second American war of independence. How long did the war last and where was it fought?
