    The correct answer is A) Impressment of American sailors and support for Native Americans

    Explanation:

    The United States had declared a war against Britain in 1812 because of what they thought were illegal actions by a European power on their land.

    Impressment, which means to force someone into service, was a common practice in the British Navy. Since many British ships operated near American waters, they would regularly force Americans into service on the Naval ships.

    This was a cause of concern for the US government, not only because it was against the rights of its civilians but also because the US navy was facing its own shortage of manpower and this made the situation only worse.

    Secondly, the British had started to support native American tribes who were aggressively challenging US government. This was seen by many in the government as an act of war.
