What effect did victory in the War of 1812 and the Treaty of Ghent have on Native Americans? (4 points)

Question

a. It opened lands in the Great Lakes region to U.S. settlement.
b. It led Native Americans to form a confederation to resist U.S. expansion.
c. It compelled most Native Americans to migrate north to British Canada.
d. It secured their land claims east of the Mississippi River

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

a. It opened lands in the Great Lakes region to U.S. settlement.

The Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812, did not address Native American land rights or sovereignty. As a result, the post-war period saw increased U.S. expansion into Native American territories, particularly in the Great Lakes region. This expansion often led to the loss of land and resources for Native American tribes.
