They stopped trying to expand northward.

Answer 2

The most notable result of the War of 1812 was an upsurge in American nationalism. At the war’s conclusion a French diplomat commented that “the war has given the Americans what they so essentially lacked, a national character.” The three-year conflict also resulted in increased funding of the peacetime military, better coastal defenses, a more secure western frontier, and a final confirmation of the Revolution’s outcome. The power of the Indian nations of the Old Northwest and Old Southwest was decisively broken, opening the way for white settlement across a broad front. Never again would European powers have significant influence with American tribes. The war also produced a new national symbol, The Star-Spangled Banner, which Congress made our national anthem in 1931. Most importantly, America’s independence and status in the world were reaffirmed, never again to be seriously challenged. .

Answer 3

It gave the US the sense that theirs was a country protected by God since it was only the intervention of a hurricane that prevented the British from advancing further into the southern states and finishing off the US "military". After all, the British had thrown the Americans out of Canada, pushed them down to and then out of Washington and proceeded to burn the capital. They had blocked the ports and neutralised most of the US "navy".
It was fortunate that this hurricane gave the US enough time to get the Belgians to broker a peace for them at Ghent or they may have come under British dominion once again.
