APUSH - Chapter 12 MC

The greatest American military successes of the War of 1812 came in the

• land invasions of Canada.

• Chesapeake campaign fought around Washington and Baltimore.

• naval battles on the Great Lakes and elsewhere.

• defense of Fort Michilimackinac on Lake Michigan

Two prominent American military heroes during the War of 1812 were

• Tecumseh and Henry Clay.

• James Madison and Stephen Decatur.

• Thomas Macdonough and Francis Scott Key.

• 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 United States would acquire western Florida in exchange for guaranteeing British control of Canada.

• the two sides would stop fighting and return to the status quo before the war.

One significant domestic consequence of the War of 1812 was

• a weakening of respect for American naval forces

• an increased threat from Indians in the West.

• the revival of the Federalists as a threat to the politically weakened President Madison.

• a decline of nationalism and a growth of sectionalism.

One significant international consequence of the War of 1812 was

• a growth of good relations between the United States and Britain.

• a growth of Canadian patriotism and nationalism.

• the spread of American ideals of liberty to much of western Europe.

• increased American attention to the threat of attack from European nations.

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 the Monroe Doctrine.

• panic of 1819 and the battle over slavery in Missouri.

• nasty presidential campaign of 1820.

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 navy.

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

• slavery would not be permitted anywhere in the Louisiana Purchase territory north of the southern boundary of Missouri, except in Missouri itself.

• the number of proslavery and antislavery members of 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.

In the case of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, John Marshall’s Supreme Court held that

• the Supreme Court had the power to decide on the constitutionality of state laws.

• private colleges, and not the state, had the right to set rules and regulations for their students and faculty.

• only Congress and not the states could regulate interstate commerce.

• the states could not violate the charter of a private, nonprofit corporation like Dartmouth College once it had been granted.
