Question 46

Multiple Choice

What was the significance of the Creole incident?


A) Because American abolitionists attempted to free French slaves without the approval of the French government, it strained relations between the United States and France and ultimately resulted in a short war that depleted American resources.
B) With the help of the British, it proved the most successful slave revolt in American history and created an international crisis in which the Americans ultimately acquiesced to the British to avoid war and harm to the American economy.
C) With the strength and number of enslaved African Americans at an all-time low, it inspired the American government to turn to other means of labor on farms, including that of indentured servants and Native Americans in the West.
D) Due to the evenhandedness of Henry Clay, it proved one of the most successful acts of diplomacy in American history, and its quick settlement ushered in an era of close alliances between the United States and western Europe.
E) Because the expansion of the West had offered new opportunities to expand slavery, it involved Congress reopening the African slave trade and promised a revival in economic activity between the United States and Europe unlike anything seen since the eighteenth century.
