aug 9, 1810 - Renewal of army and navy 1810

Description:

Due to increasing tensions with the Spanish in Florida, Madison calls for the renewal of the army, enabling it with 100,000 men and 20,000 volunteers ready to attack at immediate request. The geography of the united states and its diverse national occupation lend the opportunity for many conflicts to arise (such as that of 1812), and was crucial to the development of the United States in participating in conflicts as well as eventually resolving them.
