Hint: During this war, the defense of Fort McHenry, inspired the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

James Madison was the President of the United States during the War of 1812, a conflict fought between the United States and Great Britain from 1812 to 1815. The war was fueled by issues such as trade restrictions, the impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. Despite facing numerous challenges, including the burning of Washington, D.C., American forces achieved significant victories, notably the defense of Fort McHenry, which inspired the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." The war concluded with the Treaty of Ghent in 1815, which effectively restored relations between the two nations to their pre-war status and fostered a sense of national pride and identity in the United States.
