How did a stalemate of the War of 1812 increase optimism about the future of the American nation?

The War of 1812 changed the course of American history. Because America had managed to fight the world's greatest military power to a virtual standstill, it gained international respect. Furthermore, it instilled a greater sense of nationalism among its citizens.

Hope this helps :))

Good luck on whatever it is!!

The stalemate of the War of 1812 increased optimism about the future of the American Nation because the War weakened and broke the Natives and Americans had to make more goods which increased the economy.
