Step-by-step explanation:The results of the War of 1812, which was fought between the United Kingdom and the United States from 1812 to 1815, included no immediate boundary changes. The main result of the war was two centuries of peace with each other.

All causes of the war had disappeared with the end of the war between Britain and France and the destruction of the power of Native Americans to block American expansion into the Northwest. American fears of the Native Americans ended, as did British plans to create a buffer Native American state. The Americans' quest for honor, after their humiliations by the British, was satisfied. The final collapse of the opposition Federalist Party opened an "Era of Good Feelings," with lessened partisanship and an exuberant spirit.
