Answer 1

Answer: D. they did not want to go further in debt to try and win the war

Step-by-step explanation:

The War of 1812, fought by the Americans against the British, was in response to several British policies that caused tension between the U.S. and the British.

Both sides scored some impressive victories against each other with the British even capturing Washington DC and burning the White House. In the end however, the British (who had been fighting the French for close to two decades) agreed to end the war because the public was tired of the constant sacrifice and debt.
