Question

What were the British doing, that involved the Native Americans, that was also a reason we declared war in the War of 1812?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Supplied \ weapons \ to \ Native \ Americans \ to \ stop \ Americans \ from \ taking \ land}}$

Explanation:

There were a variety of factors that sparked the War of 1812 including:

• American shipping disruptions: France and Britain, who were essentially in a perpetual fight, both tried to block American trade to hurt the other country
• Impressment of Americans: The British took American sailors off of ships and forced them into the Navy
• War Hawks: Group of people who wanted to expand American and gain Canada
• Threat of Native Americans: The British began to encourage the Native Americans to resist expansion and provided them with supplies. This outraged Americans.

So, based on the causes above, the British supplied weapons to the Native Americans and choice B is correct.
