Why the war was significant to America
This war was significant to America because if we would have on, Canada would have been ours. The problem was Britain and France owned most of it. Thanks to the Treaty of Ghent, the war was ended. In conclusion, we didn't get any more land but, we didn't lose anything in the process either. Everything went back to the way it was. From this war we moved on becoming a super power and relieing on ourselves by manufacturing our own factorys. This also caused us to expand more west.
