Who won the war of 1812?

Who won the war of 1812? I believe United States won the war of 1812. The US won because they were recognized by the English as their own country and rallied their population to come together for the come cause. The war of 1812 was key in US history. This war was known as the "2nd war for independence." The war started because of the US trade routes being blocked by British ships who would not give in. The wars first battle was the Battle of Tippecanoe. But all the battles lead up to the two most key battles, Battle of New Orleans and the Battle of Baltimore. The Battle of Baltimore was key because the population wanted to help with fight by sinking their ships in the bay entrance so the British can't sail through and blow out their candles so they couldn't aim for certain parts of Baltimore. These acts caused the British to bombarded the fort for hours on end till they gave up because the militia would not surrender. The final key moment was the Battle of New Orleans.
