American Pageant Chapter 12

Two prominent American military heroes during the War of 1812 were

• Tecumseh and Henry Clay
• Thomas Macdonough and Francis Scott Key
• Isaac Brock and John Quincy Adams
• Oliver Hazard Perry and Andrew Jackson

Even though the victory in the Battle of New Orleans provided a large boost to American morale, it proved essentially meaningless because

• General Jackson was unable to pursue and destroy the British army after his victory
• The British continued their guerrilla attacks on the Mississippi Valley region
• the peace treaty had been signed several weeks before
• the British navy retained control of the shipping lanes around New Orleans

The terms of the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812 provided that

• there would be a buffer Indian state between the United States and Canada
• Britain would stop the impressment of American sailors
• the two sides would stop fighting and return to the status quo before the war
• both the United States and Britain would guarantee the independence of Canada

The Era of Good Feelings was sharply disrupted by the

• bitter political battles over the Tariff of 1816 and Henry Clay's American System
• renewal of international tensions with Britain over Canada and Monroe Doctrine
• panic of 1819 and the battle over slavery in Missouri
• war with the North African Barbary Coast states

The new nationalistic feeling right after the war of 1812 was evident in all of the following EXCEPT

• the development of a distinctive national literature
• an increased emphasis on economic independence
• the addition of significant new territory to the United States
• a new pride in the American army and nav

Besides admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, the Missouri Compromise provided that

• slavery would not be premitted anywhere in the Louisiana Purchase territory north of the southern boundary of Missouri, except Missouri
• the number of proslavery and antislavery members fo the House of Representatives would be kept permanently equal
• the international slave trade would be permanently ended
• slavery would be gradually ended in the District of Columbia

One of the key components of the sectional Missouri Compromise negotiated by Henry Clay was

• a guarantee that there would always be an equal number of slave and free states
• a congressional prohibition on slavery in the Louisiana territory north of the southern boundary of Missouri
• the admission of Missouri as a slave state and Iowa as a free state
• a guarantee that no new slave territories could be added to the United States

as proclaimed by Monroe in his message of 1823, the Monroe Doctrine asserted that

• only the United States had a right to intervene to promote democracy in Latin America
• the British and Americans would act together to prevent further Russian expansion on the Pacific coast
• the United States would not tolerate further European intervention or colonization in the Americas
• the United States would support the Greeks in their fight for independence against Turkey

The immediate effect of the Monroe Doctrine at the time it was issued was

• a rise in tension between the United States and the major European powers
• very small
• a close alliance between the United States and the Latin American republics
• a declaration by Russia that it would not attempt to colonize Oregon and California

The Americans developed a brilliant strategy for conquering Canada that failed only when the British successfully defended Fort Michilimackinac on Lake Michigan.
