D) Both sides agreed to return things to the way they were before the war.

Explanation: The the U.S. and Great Britain signed the Treaty of Ghent, both sides agreed to return things to the way they were before the war. After 2 years and almost 4,000 deaths, each side agreed to stop fighting and let things simply to back to the status quo antebellum, meaning "the way things were before the war." This means that nothing changed as a result of the fighting.

nothing certain is known about what happened, but it seems that the country declined gradually, perhaps due to bad government, or, more likely, due to a series of bad harvests, which resulted in widespread and recurrent famine.

i would say that the politicial parties from state to state varies.
