Aftermath of The War of 1812 (document)

The War of 1812 had aftermath for all of it’s participants. For starters, France, England, America, and the Native American tribes involved lost a huge amount of their resources because they had to be put towards the war. Also, the war of 1812 was the last time England and America went into conflict with each other because of The Treaty of Ghent. The Treaty of Ghent was the treaty signed on December 14, 1814 that ended the war, all conflict having to do with it, and made all sides give back land that they conquered from other sides. The only side who got any land was America, even though it was after the war, they bought Florida from Spain. Overall, The War of 1812 was basically just a waste of lives and resources.
