HELP!!!

Acting as an adviser to James Madison, what suggestion did Jefferson give regarding the War of 1812?

Answer 1

A) The United States should blockade the British coast.
B) The United States should build up its navy to fight the British.
C) Canada could be easily conquered by the United States.
D) A professional army should take the place of the citizen militia.

Answer 2

But the Americans thought that the possibility of local support suggested an easy conquest, as former President Thomas Jefferson believed: "The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us the experience for the attack on Halifax, the next and final expulsion of England from the American continent."[53]
