Detailed explanation-1: -In the aftermath of the War of 1812, the United States experienced a new wave of nationalism. For America, this war validated its existence as an independent nation, and it proved once again they couldn’t be defeated by the British. This resurgence of patriotism ushered in a period known as the Era of Good Feelings.
Detailed explanation-2: -The War of 1812 changed the course of American history. Because America had managed to fight the world’s greatest military power to a virtual standstill, it gained international respect. Furthermore, it instilled a greater sense of nationalism among its citizens.
Detailed explanation-3: -Americans have come to view the war as a “nation-building” experience. It won international respect for their power and sovereignty, inspired their national anthem and sanctified their national flag.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
