How did the war of 1812 affect american confidence and national identity?

a. the end of the war of 1812 represents the emergence of american true identity because this is when great britain attacked the us for our independence, and we protect our nation from another invasion. this was big because great britain was known as a world power and we were able to defeat them twice. this was also a big deal for the u.s. because we were a fresh and new nation, learning how to work together. this shows the world that we can protect ourselves. 

b. option a is not a good choice, because we were still under british rule. we still hadn't gained our independence. option c is a better option that a because it demonstrates that the new nation of the united states are beginning to rise to world power. it showed what america would become, even as we were challenged.
