Explanation:

Question 7

The Treaty of Ghent ended the War of 1812. It established that both the United States and Britain would return to the territorial and other conditions that existed before the war. The US did not gain new territory, Britain did not pay compensation to American merchants, and the Federalist Party lost power after the war, not gained.

Henry Clay's American System had three main parts: internal improvements, a strong banking system, and a protective tariff. A protective tariff is a tax on imported goods that makes foreign goods more expensive, thus helping American industries compete with foreign goods. Internal improvements were for infrastructure, the banking system was for financial stability, and expansion of slavery was not part of the American System.

The Missouri Compromise was about admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, and establishing a line (36°30′ parallel) regarding slavery in new territories. It brought to light the differences between the North (opposed to slavery's expansion) and the South (supported it), highlighting sectional differences over slavery. It did not end the War of 1812, create new political parties, or lead to the Monroe Doctrine.

B. Both sides agreed to return to pre - war conditions
