This decision was likely influenced by the desire to avoid being dragged into another costly war, as well as the belief in the principles of non-interference and self-determination.Rate this question:

All these led to the War of 1812 EXCEPT
-
Midnight judges
-
The Chesapeake incident
-
British-armed Native Americans
-
British impressment of Americans
Correct Answer
A. Midnight judgesExplanation
The War of 1812 was primarily caused by the British impressment of Americans, the Chesapeake incident, and the support of British-armed Native Americans. The appointment of midnight judges, however, was not a direct cause of the war. The term "midnight judges" refers to a group of judges appointed by President John Adams late at night before he left office. While this event did contribute to political tensions between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, it did not directly lead to the outbreak of the War of 1812.Rate this question:
