Detailed explanation-1: -The War of 1812 provided tremendous stimulus to American manufacturing. It encouraged American manufacturers to produce goods previously imported from overseas. By 1816, 100, 000 factory workers, two-thirds of them women and children, produced more than $40 million worth of manufactured goods a year.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The War of 1812 pushed the U.S to build factories due to blockade of Britain causing foreign goods from reaching the U.S, which caused the U.S to manufacture their own goods, and investors investing into new American industries.
