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: -Some of the major effects of the war of 1812 were increased patriotism in the United States and increased respect for the US from other countries. The US military and manufacturing were also strengthened. There was also a decline in the power of the Federalist party, as well as less threat from Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-4: -How did the War of 1812 and the related trade embargoes affect American production of textiles and other goods? Quality dropped way off because British machinery was unavailable. The war lasted longer because of resentment over trade. New industries prospered and grew.
