Dear Sarah,
After the American Revolution, Britain decided to let the western First Nations to keep a large territory. The territory kept the Americans from expanding. The Americans think that the British want the First Nations to be hostile towards them. They also believe that Britain is supporting the First Nations leader Tecumseh's effort to protect First Nations land. A group of American politicians called the War Hawks wants to expand the borders of the United States. The War Hawks feel that they should just take over British North America, and First Nations in the Ohio Valley. Just yesterday president James Madison declared war on Britain. And so it begins again.
Your brother,
George Davis Lanott
