The statement is false because the war of 1812 is not another name for the war of independence. The war of independence refers to the American Revolutionary War, which took place from 1775 to 1783 and resulted in the United States gaining independence from Great Britain. The war of 1812, on the other hand, was fought between the United States and Great Britain from 1812 to 1815 and was primarily caused by trade restrictions and impressment of American sailors.Rate this question:

The war ultimately resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, which restored pre-war boundaries and resolved the issues that led to the conflict.Rate this question:
