What would have North America come too look like if the US hadn't dominated the in the war, and taken all of British North America?

Well, it would almost certainly lead to the delay of the idea of an American world power by at least 50 years.
Though it must be asked, how badly is the war lost? If the British are able to beat the Americans (maybe they manage to beat Napoleon ITTL) then they are going to be able to enforce whatever treaty they want. This will probably lead to an end to American aims for defeating the Native nations in the Ohio and Michigan region, probably slowing statehood and population of the region by a decade or more.
Though it might give the U.S. government a slice of humble pie they wouldn't get until the French kicked them out of the Yucatan in 1849.
Lets say a statuesque peace. No side really gains or loses anything.

Okay, that's a toughie. I can't think of anything like it (there probably has been, but not that I can think of.)
Though in this case there might not be as many hard feelings on either side, leading to more cooperation later on rather than the British drifting toward the French and America toward the Russians as time went on.
The conquest of the Natives in Ohio and Michigan continues, probably faster than OTL since there is no need to try holding Canada. It also means we are going to be looking at Spanish territory a lot sooner, so Florida is American by 1820 (though this depends how the war with Napoleon goes.) If the British can get Russia on their side there they might win, but it wouldn't be easy or fast. Another five years at least.
So overall the U.S. probably uses the Europeans being distracted to grab Florida and maybe Cuba.
If so I could see the war over slavery being a lot worse. Rather than a handful of states trying to rebel we could see a significant percentage, with the border states of Virginia, Kentucky, and Arkansas perhaps going rogue as well.
