Explanation:

To solve the fill - in - the - blanks about the War of 1812, we analyze each blank based on historical knowledge:

1. For the first cause blank: The English and French set up blockades at American ports. Blockades were a common tactic to restrict trade, so we use "blockades". And the effect of blockades on the US was on its economy, so the first effect blank is "economy".
2. When countries can't trade externally, they have to manufacture their own goods. So the second effect blank is "manufacture".
3. The British forcing American sailors to serve in the Royal Navy is called impressment, and this action angered Americans. So the cause blank here is "impressment" and the effect blank is "angered".
4. Native Americans took the side of the British, and as a result, their land was protected from American settlement for a while. So the cause blank is "Native Americans" and the effect blank is "land".
5. During the War of 1812, American patriotism grew. And Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star - Spangled Banner" after seeing the American flag at Fort McHenry. So the cause blank is "patriotism" and the effect blank is "The Star - Spangled Banner".
