Questions: Why did the United States go to war in 1812? Circle three correct answers. American sailors were being kidnapped. France was invading other countries. would stop Indigenous attacks on White settlers.

The answer is:

1. American sailors were being kidnapped.
2. Trade with the United States was being restricted.
3. The United States wanted to stop Indigenous attacks on White settlers.

This refers to the practice of impressment, where the British Royal Navy forcibly took American sailors and made them serve on British ships. This was a significant cause of tension between the United States and Britain and contributed to the outbreak of the War of 1812.

The British imposed trade restrictions on the United States as part of their ongoing conflict with France during the Napoleonic Wars. These restrictions harmed American trade and were a major grievance leading to the war.

This was not a direct reason for the United States going to war in 1812. The conflict was primarily between the United States and Britain, not France.

The United States believed that the British were supporting Indigenous tribes in resisting American expansion into the Northwest Territory. This belief fueled American desires to go to war to secure the frontier and stop these attacks.
