Henry Clay, a negotiator at Ghent and one of the greatest political actors of his age, summed up three points that the United States had gained from the treaty of Ghent.
1-The British reputation had suffered at Ghent, not the Americans
2- By standing up singlehandedly to the mightiest power on Earth, the United States had established its national character
3- In the ordeal of war and peace, the republican government born of the Revolution had met the crucial test
In addition I would add a few other points. The powerful Indian nations of the Southwest and Northwest that had been able to play off off rival Western powers against each other for generations lay defeated. The United States was able to acquire large amounts of territory in the Southwest, which can be seen here. Secondly while the United States filibusters had failed in their attempts to acquire East Florida, they managed to hold onto West Florida. The late war victories ushered in a degree of unprecedented nationalism leading to the drastic expansion of Federal power far exceeding the Federalist era of 1788-1800, many of these programs are difficult to explain absent a new emerging American nationalism, which can be read more in The Awakening of American Nationalism: 1815 - 1828 by George Dangerfield. Some of these new institutions and programs included but are not limited to: The Second Bank of the United States ( similar to the first but on more Republican principles), The drastic expansion of the United States Navy in 1817, the first protective tariff in American history to protect growing American industry, Federal support for the colonization society, the first Federal pension. Others have argued that the war increased the pace of liberalization within the United States and increased the pace of the market revolution (a term no longer in favor) see The Republic Reborn: War and the Making of Liberal America, 1790-1820.
To expand a bit, what was the point of the whole affair? Was it really about impressment of American sailors into the British navy, which is the only reason I remember for the war from high school
In short no it wasn't just about impressment. Until 1811 in fact the main point of contention between the United States and Britain had been over trade issues. A cornerstone of Republican ideology for both Madison and Jefferson was that free ships made free goods, and that the free transfer of goods around the world would serve as a carrier for Republicanism. The ongoing wars in Europe had resulted in both France and Britain imposing sanctions on neutral vessels, the United States was one of the largest merchant states in the western world and the largest neutral carrier and the restrictions fell hard on the Republic. Events like the Chesapeake-leopard affair hardened attitudes in the United States towards Britain.Moreover Britain had grown fearful over the dramatic expansion of the American merchant fleet, and while willing to give concessions to smaller carriers like Sweden, was not willing to do so for the United States. You also had British support for the native peoples in the Northwest. Finally political relations between Republicans and Federalists had grown increasingly hostile, and Britain was viewed as popularly supporting the Federalist minority, see America on the Brink:How the Political Struggle Over the War of 1812 Almost Destroyed the Young Republic for the struggle between Federalists and Republicans that is particularly harsh on the Federalist for Anglo-American relations see Bradford Perkins Prologue to War:Prologue to War: England and the United States, 1805-1812.
Did the US "win" the war? I always had the impression that the British mainly couldn't be bothered to fight much (being busy with the whole Napoleon thing) and the victories the US achieved (USS Constitution, Lake Champlain, New Orleans) were not that strategically significant.

What were some of the fears that Americans had about government after the American Revolution?
Answer:
Fear of Strong Central Government
The Articles made the national Congress weak on purpose. Having just won independence from Britain, many Americans feared that creating a strong federal government with too much authority over the states would only replace King George III with another tyrant. Instead, they envisioned Congress to be a supervisory body that would tie the states loosely for the common good. The early United States was thus a Confederation of nearly independent states, not the solid federation with a strong government that it is today. The states were in many ways like individual countries bound together to keep Britain at bay.
Americans were especially afraid of Federal Taxes. Remembering the “No taxation without representation!” cry from the Colonial era, they stipulated that only the individual states could levy taxes. This system proved to be a completely ineffective way of bankrolling a federal government, and in fact, many of the states refused to pay their fair share. Most years, in fact, the Congress received less than a third of what it asked for from the states. Moreover, Congress had been granted No Rights To Control Interstate Commerce. States were thus given a free hand to draft conflicting and confusing laws that made cross-border trade difficult.

Explanation:
The speech says, "A childhood friend once said about Mrs. Parks, 'Nobody
ever bossed Rosa around and got away with it." How is this quote supported
in the rest of the text?
Explanation:
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Speaker, Leader Reid, Leader McConnell, Leader Pelosi, Assistant Leader Clyburn; to the friends and family of Rosa Parks; to the distinguished guests who are gathered here today.
This morning, we celebrate a seamstress, slight in stature but mighty in courage. She defied the odds, and she defied injustice. She lived a life of activism, but also a life of dignity and grace. And in a single moment, with the simplest of gestures, she helped change America -- and change the world.
Rosa Parks held no elected office. She possessed no fortune; lived her life far from the formal seats of power. And yet today, she takes her rightful place among those who’ve shaped this nation’s course. I thank all those persons, in particular the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, both past and present, for making this moment possible. (Applause.)
A childhood friend once said about Mrs. Parks, “Nobody ever bossed Rosa around and got away with it.” (Laughter.) That’s what an Alabama driver learned on December 1, 1955. Twelve years earlier, he had kicked Mrs. Parks off his bus simply because she entered through the front door when the back door was too crowded. He grabbed her sleeve and he pushed her off the bus. It made her mad enough, she would recall, that she avoided riding his bus for a while.
And when they met again that winter evening in 1955, Rosa Parks would not be pushed. When the driver got up from his seat to insist that she give up hers, she would not be pushed. When he threatened to have her arrested, she simply replied, “You may do that.”
A few days later, Rosa Parks challenged her arrest. A little-known pastor, new to town and only 26 years old, stood with her -- a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. So did thousands of Montgomery, Alabama commuters. They began a boycott -- teachers and laborers, clergy and domestics, through rain and cold and sweltering heat, day after day, week after week, month after month, walking miles if they had to, arranging carpools where they could, not thinking about the blisters on their feet, the weariness after a full day of work -- walking for respect, walking for freedom, driven by a solemn determination to affirm their God-given dignity.
It’s been often remarked that Rosa Parks’s activism didn’t begin on that bus. Long before she made headlines, she had stood up for freedom, stood up for equality -- fighting for voting rights, rallying against discrimination in the criminal justice system, serving in the local chapter of the NAACP. Her quiet leadership would continue long after she became an icon of the civil rights movement, working with Congressman Conyers to find homes for the homeless, preparing disadvantaged youth for a path to success, striving each day to right some wrong somewhere in this world.
And yet our minds fasten on that single moment on the bus -- Ms. Parks alone in that seat, clutching her purse, staring out a window, waiting to be arrested. That moment tells us something about how change happens, or doesn’t happen; the choices we make, or don’t make. “For now we see through a glass, darkly,” Scripture says, and it’s true. Whether out of inertia or selfishness, whether out of fear or a simple lack of moral imagination, we so often spend our lives as if in a fog, accepting injustice, rationalizing inequity, tolerating the intolerable.
Like the bus driver, but also like the passengers on the bus, we see the way things are -- children hungry in a land of plenty, entire neighborhoods ravaged by violence, families hobbled by job loss or illness -- and we make excuses for inaction, and we say to ourselves, that's not my responsibility, there’s nothing I can do.
Rosa Parks tell us there’s always something we can do. She tells us that we all have responsibilities, to ourselves and to one another. She reminds us that this is how change happens -- not mainly through the exploits of the famous and the powerful, but through the countless acts of often anonymous courage and kindness and fellow feeling and responsibility that continually, stubbornly, expand our conception of justice -- our conception of what is possible.
Rosa Parks’s singular act of disobedience launched a movement. The tired feet of those who walked the dusty roads of Montgomery helped a nation see that to which it had once been blind. It is because of these men and women that I stand here today. It is because of them that our children grow up in a land more free and more fair; a land truer to its founding creed.
And that is why this statue belongs in this hall -- to remind us, no matter how humble or lofty our positions, just what it is that leadership requires; just what it is that citizenship requires. Rosa Parks would have turned 100 years old this month. We do well by placing a statue of her here. But we can do no greater honor to her memory than to carry forward the power of her principle and a courage born of conviction.

What is the relationship between Egypt and Nubia?
Answer:
Nubia and Ancient Egypt had periods of both peace and war. It is believed, based on rock art, that Nubian rulers and early Egyptian pharaohs used similar royal symbols. There was often peaceful cultural exchange and cooperation, and marriages between the two did occur. Egyptians did, however, conquer Nubian territory at various times. Nubians conquered Egypt in the 25th Dynasty.
Egyptians called the Nubian region “Ta-Seti,” which means “The Land of the Bow,” a reference to Nubian archery skills. Around 3500 BCE, the “A-Group” of Nubians arose, existing side-by-side with the Naqada of Upper Egypt. These two groups traded gold, copper tools, faience, stone vessels, pots, and more. Egyptian unification in 3300 BCE may have been helped along by Nubian culture, which was conquered by Upper Egypt.
Nubia was first mentioned by ancient Egyptian trading accounts in 2300 BCE. Nubia was a gateway to the riches of Africa, and goods like gold, incense, ebony, copper, ivory, and animals flowed through it. By the Sixth Dynasty, Nubia was fractured into a group of small kingdoms; the population (called “C-Group”) may have been made up of Saharan nomads.
During the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (c. 2040-1640 BCE), Egypt began expanding into Nubian territory in order to control trade routes, and to build a series of forts along the Nile.
Egyptians shared Nubian culture
