True or false the word 1812 led to the industrial revolution because the US began building ships for the war

False. The word 1812 itself did not directly lead to the Industrial Revolution. The War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain did lead to increased industrialization in the US due to the need for ships, weapons, and other goods for the war effort. However, the Industrial Revolution had already been underway in Britain and other parts of Europe long before the War of 1812.
