The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. 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.1831 - (Canterbury, CT) - In 1831 Prudence Crandall opened a private school for girls but when she allowed—and then focused exclusively on—education for young African American women, informal and legal protests began.

The story of Prudence Crandall, the abolitionist school teacher of Canterbury, Conn., is one of the most interesting in the history of the movement that resulted in the emancipation of the colored man. It is recalled now by the petition of the people of Canterbury, which was presented to the assembly the other day, parying for an appropriation from the state, under whose laws the noble woman suffered great hardships and indignities, for her relief in old age. It is to the credit of the people of Canterbury that the petition comes from them, for it was in that little Windham county village that Prudence Crandall was persecuted half a century ago. Signed to that petition are the names of the sons and grandsons of the men, yes and some of the men themselves, whose fanatical vengeance fell upon the school mistress because she dared to teach the daughter of a negro.
