| | Madison did not share the neutrality doctrine of his predecessors and began to urge Congress to declare war on Britain. | | | Congress acted on June 18, 1812, declaring war just days after England had repealed its embargo against U.S. shipping, thereby removing the cause for war. | | | The circumstances leading to the war began almost immediately at the conclusion of the American Revolution in 1783. |

| | Though far from Tchaikovsky's most important or impressive work, the "1812 Overture" is undoubtedly his best known piece. | | | The Boston event became the first to play the overture as part of a Fourth of July celebration. | | | Tchaikovsky himself didn't feel much enthusiasm for the work while he was composing it, and if it were not for a lucrative commission for a ceremonial overture to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Russia's victory over Napoleon in 1812, it is unlikely that Tchaikovsky would have composed the overture on his own initiative. |
