The war was rather inconclusive. The U.S. failed to achieve its war aims as a result of the peace agreement. For the U.K. the war was a distraction from the Napoleonic Wars. In the longer term, the U.K. ended the practice of impressment once the Napoleonic Wars were concluded, and further border disputes between the U.S. and the British Empire were resolved diplomatically. The U.S. victory at the Battle of the New Orleans did boost morale, but it had no effect on the course of the war, which was already technically over. I haven't read anything to indicate that it had any effect on the peace negotiations.
