The correct answer is E: The Battle of New Orleans unleashed a wave of nationalism and self-confidence.

Explanation:

The Battle of New Orleans took place in early January of 1815, and it was one of the last major battles of the War of 1812. In this battle, the United States faced off against the forces of the British Empire, whose military status and prowess at the time were unrivalled. Earning a victory against the much larger and more experienced British troops, and thus maintaining control of the recently acquired "Louisiana Purchase," bolstered US nationalism and confidence in US military and accelerated the end of the war.
