You guys stopped illegally boarding our ships and kidnapping our sailors and you stopped getting the Indians to raid our frontier homesteads.
That's a win in my book.

There was no illegal boarding of ships to start with, the practice of boarding was not even mentioned in the settlement, however the contentious orders of council had stopped before the war even started.
Impressment of sailors continued to be practiced and like wise was not mentioned in the peace treaty.
Looks like "your book" is mainly fiction.
Impression continued to be on the books until the navy was downsized
