Detailed explanation-1: -The War of 1812 had a devastating effect on commerce. The US trade restrictions leading up to the war dramatically decreased American exports. The British blockades and direct attacks on tobacco stores and other US trade goods made it difficult to conduct commerce during the war.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ultimately, the War of 1812 ended in a draw on the battlefield, and the peace treaty reflected this. The Treaty of Ghent was signed in modern-day Belgium on December 24, 1814, and went into effect on February 17, 1815, after both sides had ratified it.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the War of 1812 lead to a boom in manufacturing in the United States? The war stopped the import or export of foreign goods so Americans were forced to buy American products, which in turn increased manufacturing.
Detailed explanation-4: -The immediate causes of the War of 1812 were a series of economic sanctions taken by the British and French against the US as part of the Napoleonic Wars and American outrage at the British practice of impressment, especially after the Chesapeake incident of 1807.
