The response that was NOT a cause of the War of 1812 is:

The Americans were pushing into New Orleans and taking over British Forts on the Mississippi.

This statement is misleading, as the primary conflict over New Orleans during this period was more about controlling trade and access to the port rather than taking over British forts, which were not a major issue in that region at the time. The other options directly relate to tensions that contributed to the war.
