Question

What are some important outcomes of the War of 1812?

A France and other European countries lost their respect for the United States and the United States gained a lot of territory west of the Rockies.

B Britain remained hopeful it would some day retake its former colonies and Americans kept their sights on Canada for colonization.

C The United States became more respected and Americans were proud of their country.

D The United States decided to get involved in European affairs and all American ports were closed to trade.

Answer 1

It’s C. The first time the US beat the British, everyone in the world thought it was luck. British looked down on America as they stationed soldiers there in the years following. But beating Britain again in 1812 proved to the world that America was a country to be respected. This also increased nationalism, which meant that everyone was proud to be an American.
