Explanation:

• The War of 1812 did not reduce threats from American Indians west of the Mississippi; conflict continued in the region.
• The war actually reduced U.S. dependence on foreign trade by spurring domestic manufacturing.
• American naval forces had notable victories (e.g., USS Constitution), which increased public respect, not weakened it.
• The war, often seen as a stalemate, fostered a strong sense of national identity and pride among Americans as they held off a major world power.

Answer:

C. Although the outcome was a draw, Americans had a new sense of national pride.
