The real, real answer:
The War of 1812 is also called America’s Second War for Independence. Before the war most nations, including the British, believed that the US would some day be reconquered by Great Britain and brought back under the Union Jack. Thus many nations refused to sign treaties with the US in fear of angering Britain.
Also, the British were NOT arming the natives to protect their rights. They were doing so because Great Britain wanted to regain control of the old Northwest Territories, especially Michigan (which had the wealthiest fur industry in the world and the cities of Mackinac and Detroit controlled the Great Lakes). If the Northwest Territories filled with American citizens, it would be nearly impossible to someday retake the area.
By fighting to a standstill with the British (the world’s most powerful nation), the US proved to the world that they were an independent nation. The war did lead to a sense of nationalism that remained until the Civil War.
