Once begun, the War of 1812 was supported strongly by

A) practically all Americans.
B) New England and the seaboard states.
C) very few people.
D) the West and South.
E) Native Americans.
 
D. The West (now the midwest) and the South. The West did not like the fact that the British hadn't removed all their forts like they were suppose to under the Treaty of Paris and gave support to the Indian trips. The South was somewhat more pro-French than pro-British. The New England states were strongly opposed to the war. They had strong economic and trade relations with Great Britain and its Canadian and Caribbean colonies They even had a convention to discuss succession from the Union, 50 years before the South did.
