It was primarily fueled by issues such as trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.1827 Birth of ChildElizabeth Price GRIFFITH was born 28 April 1827, Pike Run, Washington, Pennsylvania, USA
