Detailed explanation-1: -The War of 1812 had a devastating effect on commerce. The US trade restrictions leading up to the war dramatically decreased American exports. The British blockades and direct attacks on tobacco stores and other US trade goods made it difficult to conduct commerce during the war.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did the War of 1812 lead to a boom in manufacturing in the United States? The war stopped the import or export of foreign goods so Americans were forced to buy American products, which in turn increased manufacturing.
