This original newspaper contains Madison's views on the tensions with Great Britain and was given just four days after the Battle of Tippecanoe and news had not yet reached Washington, DC. For Congress, 1811 was a year of decision. In its third session, the Eleventh Congress of the United States met from December 3, 1810 to March 3, 1811. During that time, legislators discussed the European situation and commercial policy, threats to American trade and sovereignty, and the expediency of re-chartering the national bank. Within these debates, Congress delved into the constitutional arguments of the 1790s, expressed ambivalence about the potential for hostilities, and some members voiced concerns that they would not be able to identify the greater threat to America, France or England. A new assembly, the Twelfth Congress, convened for its first session from November 4, 1811 to March 9, 1812. By November, a semblance of foreign policy consensus had developed; England was depicted as the American’s primary security concern, and members of Congress were more openly speaking of war. A fundamental shift in thought pertaining to the state of relations with Great Britain had occurred in the intervening time between the last session of the Eleventh Congress and the first session of the Twelfth Congress. Even at this crucial point, however, it was apparent that bravado was to be valued more than planning in relation to financial matters. Throughout the year, as decision makers contemplated the probability of war, they neglected to take into account the extraordinary cost of war, choosing instead to galvanize emotions with moving rhetorical flourishes.
