Who gain the most from the Treaty of Ghent?

The Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, effectively restored the status quo ante bellum, meaning that it did not significantly alter territorial boundaries or power dynamics between the United States and Britain. However, the U.S. gained the most in terms of national pride and confirmed its sovereignty, as it emerged from the War of 1812 with a strengthened sense of identity and unity. Additionally, the treaty paved the way for future westward expansion without British interference, benefiting American expansionist ambitions.
