Answer:

Answer below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 2 is incorrect. The Civil War did not happen until several decades later, during the 1860s. The War of 1812 was primarily caused by British attempts to restrict trade with the United States and by the impressment of American sailors by the British navy. Other contributing factors included territorial expansion and conflicts with Native American tribes on the western frontier.
