Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -On June 18, 1812, buoyed by the arrival of “war hawk” representatives, the United States formally declared war for the first time in the nation’s history. Citizens in the Northeast opposed the idea, but many others were enthusiastic about the nation’s “Second War of Independence” from British oppression.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the major effects of the war of 1812 were increased patriotism in the United States and increased respect for the US from other countries. The US military and manufacturing were also strengthened. There was also a decline in the power of the Federalist party, as well as less threat from Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-4: -1.) 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.
