A convulsion is a medical condition where body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking of the body.Because a convulsion is often a symptom of an epileptic seizure, the term convulsion is sometimes used as a synonym for seizure.However, not all epileptic seizures lead to convulsions, and not all convulsions are caused by epileptic seizures.he most common type of seizure is called a generalized seizure, also known as a generalized convulsion. This is characterized by a loss of consciousness which may lead to the person collapsing. The body stiffens for about a minute and then jerks uncontrollably for the next minute.
The United States instigated the War of 1812 by declaring war on the British Empire. The first assault was led by American general William Hull, who crossed over the Detroit R â¦ iver in May of 1812 and occupied the town of Sandwich.he US knew that Britain could spare very few troops to defend Canada. One of the objectives of the US in starting the war of 1812 was to acquire Upper Canada and Lower Canada and annex them into the US. There was no interest in crossing the Atlantic to attack Britain, and there was little to be gained by doing so.
