Question

What were the terms of the treaty that ended the War of 1812?

a. The Americans gained all of the British land in Canada.
b. The nations simply agreed to stop fighting.
c. The British had to stop impressing American seamen.
d. The British had to stop interfering with U.S. trade.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

The War of 1812, between the British and the United States, was one that started due to the impressment of American soldiers by the British navy. This relatively short war ended with the Treaty of Ghent. This treaty essentially called for all territories to be returned to the country that ran them before the war and ended fighting. However, it did not address the issues that actually started this war in the first place.
