Madison Administrations - Madison Becomes President
The James Madison Administrations
The War of 1812, which came to be known as Madison's war, dominated the Madison administration. As president, Madison had to deal with the initial resistance to the war, the inept prosecution of the war, and the problems of ineffectual military command. Support or non-support for the war was partisan and regional. In the end, the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war, reaffirmed the boundaries that existed before the war. Despite this, when the War of 1812 came to an end it was remembered as a U.S. victory that inaugurated a period of patriotic consensus known as the "Era of Good Feelings" under Madison's successor, James Monroe.
