Question

1812 checkpoint
which statement best describes one result of the war of 1812?
the united states gained control of the oregon territory.
great britain stopped the practice of impressment.
the united states stopped trading with britain and france.
great britain lost control of canada.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: The Oregon Territory was not gained by the US as a result of the War of 1812. The US - British dispute over Oregon was later.
• Analyze Option 2: One of the main causes of the War of 1812 was British impressment of American sailors. After the war, Britain stopped this practice (though the end of the war and the end of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe contributed to this, and the Treaty of Ghent didn't explicitly mention impressment, the practice effectively ended).
• Analyze Option 3: The US did not stop trading with Britain and France as a result of the War of 1812. In fact, trade relations were restored.
• Analyze Option 4: Great Britain never lost control of Canada. Canada remained a British colony (later a dominion) after the War of 1812.

Answer:

B. Great Britain stopped the practice of impressment.
