Question 13 • AL-United States History I: Beginnings to the Industrial Revolution A-CR

Which best describes the impact of the War of 1812 on western settlement in the US?

Answer

Western settlement increased because American Indians were forced off their lands.

Western settlement increased because the US government and American Indians agreed on a land trade.

Western settlement decreased because those lands were found to be unsuitable for farming.

Western settlement decreased because American Indians claimed those lands.

Explanation

The War of 1812 weakened American Indian resistance to U.S. expansion, especially in the Old Northwest. After the war, the U.S. used military pressure and treaties to take more Native land, opening it to settlers. So western settlement increased because American Indians were forced off their lands, not because of a mutually agreed land trade.
