Question

which event in the war of 1812 made the united states believe they won the war?

the united states convinced tecumseh to become an ally in the battle against the british.

americans forced the british to sign a peace treaty to end the war.

american troops repelled british attempts to burn washington, d.c.

andrew jackson defeated the british in the battle of new orleans.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Ghent (the peace treaty ending the War of 1812) was signed before the Battle of New Orleans, but news of the treaty did not reach the U.S. in time. Andrew Jackson's decisive victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans was widely celebrated in the U.S. as a major win, leading many Americans to believe they had won the war, even though the treaty restored pre-war borders with no major U.S. gains. The other options are incorrect: Tecumseh was a British ally, the peace treaty was negotiated (not forced by U.S. military action to end the war), and the British did burn Washington D.C.

Answer:

D. Andrew Jackson defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans.
