The election of James Madison as president in 1808 continues the procession of Republican presidents from Virginia, although the Federalists capture an increased number of votes. In his final days in office Jefferson signs a bill that lifts the embargo. Madison is a detail man, one of the foremost intellects of the era, but he is not the politician or administrator Jefferson was. Indian uprisings, supported by British agents in Canada, and the trade embargo with Europe pushes the nation toward conflict with Great Britain. James Madison does not want war but it became clear to some people, including Dolley Madison, that he will never win the presidential election of 1812 without it. Britain withdraw their Orders of Council just before the Americans declare war.
