I think the anwser is either B or C? But I mainly think C
yeah but what if we just need the grade bro?
Mean teacher! I would hate to be your student!
so no one got the answer lmao
This is a test for an entire unit so there's no specific reading
For future kids the answer is B
The answer is "It was a needed victory after the burning of Washington"
The course that this is from does give vague questions that do not line up with studywork, sometimes the only options are to ask for help and that is okay. Give students a break sometimes.
The Battle of Baltimore, which took place during the War of 1812, had multiple significant outcomes. To determine which option is correct, let's evaluate each one:
A) It marked the first American victory against the British in the War of 1812.
While the Battle of Baltimore was a significant American victory, it was not the first American victory in the war. American forces achieved victories in previous battles, such as the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of Plattsburgh.
B) It rallied American support for the war after the destruction of Washington, DC.
This option is indeed correct. Prior to the Battle of Baltimore, the British had burned down many public buildings in Washington, including the White House and the Capitol. The victory at Baltimore, where American forces successfully defended Fort McHenry against a British attack, boosted American morale and helped restore national pride after the devastating loss of Washington, DC.
C) It motivated European nations to see America’s military as a formidable force.
While the Battle of Baltimore demonstrated American resilience and determination, it did not necessarily motivate European nations to see America's military as a formidable force. The War of 1812 did not significantly impact European perceptions of America's military capabilities.
D) It led to the adoption of “America, the Beautiful” as the US national anthem.
This option is incorrect. The Battle of Baltimore did not lead to the adoption of "America, the Beautiful" as the U.S. national anthem. The national anthem of the United States is "The Star-Spangled Banner," which was inspired by the events of the Battle of Baltimore.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) It rallied American support for the war after the destruction of Washington, DC. This battle boosted American morale and restored faith in the war effort after the British burned down important buildings in the nation's capital.
Which does the author of your reading assignment favor?
A test? You should be taking a test without relying on others to tell you whether your choices are correct or not. Tests are to measure how much YOU learned.
