Both countries realized that they could not afford to continue the war without paying a heavy price.

Explanation:

The war ended in a "draw": a peace treaty legally secured the pre-existing borders and principles of relations.

Some American historians call the 1812 war the "war that created the nation," or the "Second War of Independence." It was this armed conflict that led to the fact that various groups of the US population began to perceive themselves as a whole, and the United States loudly declared itself on the world stage, entering into a war as a superpower.
