Correct. The answer is b. The author’s main point in this section of the chapter is that the War of 1812, which stemmed from Britain’s wars with France and Americans’ conflicts with Native Americans in the Northwest, equalized the United States’ relationship with Britain, strengthened the Republicans at the expense of the Federalists, and struck a damaging blow to Tecumseh’s Indian confederacy and the southern Creek tribes.

Correct. The answer is c. To support her point that ongoing wars between France and Britain caused significant upheaval in the United States during Thomas Jefferson’s second term as president, the author describes the causes and effects of the Embargo Act of 1807, which damaged American commerce and drained federal coffers. She explains how British mistreatment of American ships and sailors led Jefferson and Congress to implement the Embargo Act of 1807, which prohibited all U.S. ships from traveling to foreign ports, and demonstrates that it brought American commerce to a standstill, causing innumerable economic hardships.

Correct. The answer is a. The author makes a case for her assertion that growing tensions with Native Americans in the Northwest contributed to the outbreak of the War of 1812 with the example that, as they felt increasingly pressured to defend their land from the United States, Indians in the far North formed alliances with British agents in Canada in order to develop new sources of food and weapons. Indian alliances with British agents in Canada served as the bridge that merged Americans’ conflicts with Britain and Americans’ conflicts with Native Americans in the War of 1812.

Correct. The answer is c. The author suggests that the War of 1812 ended ambiguously but ended American paranoia over British tyranny. She substantiates this claim by pointing to the countries’ agreement on the Rush-Bagot disarmament treaty in 1817, which limited each country to a total of four naval vessels, each with a single cannon, to patrol the border between them.

Correct. The answer is d. According to the author, Republican War Hawks celebrated the War of 1812 as if they had won an unmitigated victory, inspiring a new spirit of nationalism and confidence that carried them into power. This development, combined with New England Federalists' ill-timed Hartford Convention, reduced the Federalist Party to a shadow of its former self.
