A surplus of food would advance hunter-gatherer societies because when a society begins, it's main concern is the gathering of food and resources for its people. If this was not a need, and the need was taken care of by a surplus the civilization would advance rapidly, focusing on advancement and development of the society itself.
This is because the concern and the amount of resources and people required and used to collect food would no longer be needed, and those resources and people would instead spend their time and lives, developing the society in other ways, therefore rapidly advancing the civilization.

At the end of 1812 war, although both Nations had gained different lands, signed the Treaty of Ghent, reaching peace and stablishing the boundaries just as they were before starting the war. Neither the US, nor the UK consider themselves to have won the war, however Canada does, this because this country considers that the final outcome made the US did not get lands and these kept Canadian.
