The div with the class container needs to encapsulate the entire body element. The container class in your code only wraps around the h1 element.

It asks for the div to wrap around all of the content inside the body, so instead you should rewrite the div so it starts before the header and ends after the footer. The header and footer elements are content within the body element.
