Effects
Some of the effects of the war of 1812 one effect it had was the Treaty of Ghent this treaty established the status quo, either side didnt make any territorial concessions. The relations between the US an britain would stay peaceful if not tranquil.The issuse of impressing seamen wasn;t moot when royal navy subsequently stopped impressment after defeating napoleon.The united states did gain a measure of international respect for managing to withstand the british empire. The moral of the citizens was high because they had fought one of the great military powers of the world an managed to survive which increased the feelings of nationalism. This has bein call the "Second War of Independence". The war also contributed to the demise of the federalist party the people who had a opposed the war.
