(1 point) british embargoes on american goods westward expansion of british canada british impressment of u.s. soldiers u.s. sympathy for the french revolution british support for native american resistance

Explanation:

The War of 1812 was influenced by multiple factors. British impressment of U.S. sailors was a major grievance as it violated American sovereignty over its seamen. Also, British support for Native - American resistance against American westward expansion was seen as an obstacle to American territorial ambitions. British embargoes on American goods were not a direct cause. The westward expansion of British Canada was not a primary factor in the decision to declare war. U.S. sympathy for the French Revolution was not related to the decision to go to war with Britain in 1812.

Answer:

British impressment of U.S. soldiers
British support for Native American resistance
