The War of 1812 concluded with the Treaty of Ghent, marking a pivotal moment in American history. This chapter examines how the war instilled a sense of nationalism among Americans, leading to increased resistance against perceived injustices and the emergence of war heroes like Jackson and Harrison. The newfound respect for American emissaries abroad and a push for domestic manufacturing during the Embargo set the stage for a stronger national identity. Judicial, literary, financial, and military nationalism flourished, with landmark Supreme Court cases reinforcing federal power and a revived National Bank in 1816.
