The correct answer is A) Americans found that they could survive a war with a European power.
The War of 1812 saw the United States face off against Britain again. This war was short in comparison to the American Revolution. However, this war was important in building the morale of American citizens. Even though this was not technically a win and neither side gained or lost territory, it proved that even though America was still a young nation, it could survive a war against a strong European country.
