What did the Americans gains in the American Revolution?

The American government hoped that in threatening war, the British might give in to American’s demands regarding our rights as neutrals. The Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812, restored British and American relations to what they had been before the war began. While not solving any of the problems that caused the war, the Battle of New Orleans victory, followed by news of the Treaty of Ghent, caused the Americans increased pride and led to a developing nationalism and expansion westward. The nation also gained a new respect abroad. Other nations saw the US stand up to Great Britain (a second time) and not lose the war.
