Both the British and the Americans were mostly happy with how it ended.
Why: the Treaty of Ghent (Dec 1814) restored the prewar situation (status quo ante bellum) with no territorial changes. Britain, tired of war after fighting Napoleon, wanted to stop a costly conflict; the U.S. gained a boost in national pride (especially after the Battle of New Orleans) but no major concessions. In short, the war ended largely in a stalemate that both sides accepted.
