I found that there are a lot of consistency's found in my article with the other sources I found. After following the sources and understanding where the sources got their information, tons of the information they found is involved in the article below. My sources are listed under the article that is posted below.

Long-term consequences
Main article: Results of the War of 1812

Neither side lost territory in the war, nor did the treaty that ended it address the original points of contention—and yet it changed much between the United States of America and Britain.

The Treaty of Ghent established the status quo ante bellum; that is, there were no territorial losses by either side. The issue of impressment was made moot when the Royal Navy, no longer needing sailors, stopped impressment after the defeat of Napoleon in spring 1814 ended the war. (Napoleon unexpectedly returned in 1815, after the final end of the war of 1812.) Except for occasional border disputes and some tensions during the American Civil War, relations between the U.S. and Britain remained peaceful for the rest of the 19th century, and the two countries became close allies in the 20th century.

The Rush–Bagot Treaty between the United States and Britain was enacted in 1817. It demilitarized the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, where many British naval arrangements and forts still remained. The treaty laid the basis for a demilitarized boundary. It remains in effect to this day.

Although Britain had defeated the American invasions she was in no mood to have more conflicts with the United States since her attention was to her growing Indian possessions. Indicative of forbearance, or at least improved relations, Britain never seriously challenged the US over land claims after 1846: she had hoped to keep Texas out of the US and had designs of taking California. From the 1880s, because of the burgeoning industrial power of the US, Britain had designs on getting the US on her side in a hypothetical European war. Border adjustments between the U.S. and British North America were made in the Treaty of 1818. Eastport, Massachusetts, was returned to the U.S. in 1818; it became part of the new State of Maine in 1820. A border dispute along the Maine–New Brunswick border was settled by the 1842 Webster–Ashburton Treaty after the bloodless Aroostook War, and the border in the Oregon Country was settled by splitting the disputed area in half by the 1846 Oregon Treaty. A further dispute about the line of the border through the island in the Strait of Juan de Fuca resulted in another almost bloodless standoff in the Pig War of 1859. The line of the border was finally settled by an international arbitration commission in 1872.

You paraphrased a part from another Wiki article. I am not sure why the two Wiki articles, both on the War of 1812, are not combined together. The possible problem is that when you publish your addition, you need to provide the citation which is another Wiki article. You repeated the existing information, which minimized your contribution. Another possibility is that repeated information may be deleted by expert Wikipedians when they patrol.

I really enjoyed your introduction statement. It draws attention to your article and makes me interested in learning more. Your third sentence says "occasional border disputes" and I think that you should really go into way more debt about that. It would be awesome for you to even explain a situation that was possible. Also even if it's just a URL add your sources where you're getting the information under wherever your paraphrasing from. However your article is interesting and you picked a great topic! I think you're on the road to success with this assignment as long as your sources are reliable and are supported.

Great topic because no one ever talks about this war. Everything flowed together very well, and you made it interesting to read. You need to add in some of the sources you used cause you'll make some people mad about that if you don't. Pretty solid article so there isn't that any things that needs changed.
