My mom restricted websites from my phone and I can’t go to that one :( and she’s busy right now.
I guess you'll have to wait until she's not busy or use another computer or (sigh) read your text.
I did read my text, it didn’t say it
I'm certain your text does "say it". It also must explain the whiskey rebellion, which had nothing at all to do with navies or sailors. You must read carefully, not just skim over it.
To find the correct answer, we need to understand the context provided in the question. The practice of pressing American sailors into service in the British Navy refers to the forced recruitment of American sailors by the British during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
A. War of 1812: The War of 1812 was indeed fought between the United States and Great Britain, and it was primarily driven by issues such as trade restrictions and British impressment of American sailors. Therefore, this answer could be correct.
B. Semi War and C. Quasi War: These terms refer to different conflicts, but they do not directly relate to the issue of pressing American sailors into the British Navy. Therefore, these options can be eliminated.
D. Whiskey Rebellion: The Whiskey Rebellion was a domestic uprising in the United States that occurred in 1794, mainly in response to a government-imposed tax on whiskey production. It does not have any relation to the pressing of American sailors into service in the British Navy. Thus, this option is incorrect.
Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is indeed A. War of 1812.
