The War of 1812 and the failure of the Embargo acts complicated Madison\u2019s position. I chose to confront the war with Britain in this video because it was one of the most contentious and important issues of the time. I felt ignoring it would not accurately reflect the spirit of the age. After I found Madison\u2019s campaign song, I decided to use its lyrics to guide the narrative for the ad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/npgportraits.si.edu\/eMuseumNPG\/code\/emuseum.asp?rawsearch=ObjectID\/,\/is\/,\/57605\/,\/false\/,\/false&amp;newprofile=CAP&amp;newstyle=single\">http:\/\/npgportraits.si.edu\/eMuseumNPG\/code\/emuseum.asp?rawsearch=ObjectID\/,\/is\/,\/57605\/,\/false\/,\/false&amp;newprofile=CAP&amp;newstyle=single<\/a> I used an image of Madison as president, painted during his first term.
