Take a look at the primary source documents that have been given to you.

Should the United States have gone to war with the United Kingdom?
In two paragraphs, answer the questions above. The first paragraph should be about whether or not the US was right to want to go to war and the second paragraph should be about whether or not the US should have gone to war.
