At the moment, America is facing a great conflict in the year of 1812. The conflict is whether we go to war with Britain. This problem has caused many arguments. In my opinion, America should not go to war with Britain because the British is turning the Indians against the U.S. and it is making it very dangerous to be around the Indians, no one will benefit from it, and that it will create more greed.
