Answer 1

The main benefit to the United States of the War of 1812 is generally considered to be **D. a new sense of pride among Americans in their country**. While the war did involve issues such as impressment of sailors and helped establish certain boundaries, the war ultimately fostered a sense of national identity and unity, particularly following victories such as the Battle of New Orleans. This newfound pride contributed to the "Era of Good Feelings" that followed the war.
