A strong national identity did not exist prior to the war of 1812 why

The War of 1812 is unusual in that both nations believe their country to have won the war. In the United States, this was extremely signficant as a way to unify the nation by creating a strong national identity. Prior to this war, Americans did not feel unified, as people focused more on their belonging to a particular colony than to the nation.
