Outline:
A) Introduction:
War of independence led to the independence of former british colnies. The colonists had been irritated by the dictatorial and discriminatory policies of the british such as mercantilism, woolen act, hat act, boston massacre, boston tea party etc. as a result, they fought against their british masters.

It infused ray of hope and unified diversified ethnicities. war of 1812 was a very important milestone in the history of U.S as it was fought to uphold their American prestige.

@Sadat.... This is exactly what I wrote in my answer copy in CSS 2012 papers
. But this is not the Right Technique I guess. as the question is
HOW they became independent/formidable power. I think the best way to answer this question would be to argue that how were the 1st war made them independent and the 2nd formidable power.
I think 2 headings are very important in answering this question
1. How the 1st war with Britain Made them Independent
- a. No More Mercantilism Acts
- b. Collect and Spend Tax on their on People
- c. Native Leaders
- d. No more trade embargoes
- and many more heading can be added [Brainstorming Needed ]
2. How 2nd war made them a Formidable Power
- a. Started believing in their Abilities
- b. Defeat the then World Super Power twice
- c. [Brainstorming again ]
@Sadaf You are more then welcome to comment/correct or criticize my approach or add any valuable point in this if you can.

@Taania.... you are mixing two things at one place. 1st of all you should know that Dred Scot case was an issue in 1857 where as Missouri was admitted to union as Slave State in
Missouri Compromise 1820.
you can refer to my notes for better understanding of Missouri compromise.
While Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision, ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories and therefore declared Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. which ultimately led to civil war.
