Explanation:

Question 21

The Free Soil Party was formed in 1848 with the goal of limiting slavery's expansion to western territories to make land available for white men. The Democrat Party had different focuses, the Republican Party formed later (1854), and the Know - Nothing Party was about nativism.

The US declared war on Britain in 1812 due to impressment of sailors, British support for Native Americans against settlers, and some expansionist desires (like for Canada). The US had no formal alliance with France at that time, so "Americans were upholding their alliance with France" is not a reason.

William Henry Harrison led the forces that defeated the Native American settlement at Prophetstown in the Battle of Tippecanoe. The Battle of Thames was later, the Battle of New Orleans was in the War of 1812 but not related to Prophetstown, and the Battle of Horseshoe Bend was against the Creeks.
