Treaty of Ghent

The Treaty of Ghent, signed in December 1814, ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. It effectively restored the pre-war boundaries and agreements, meaning no land was gained or lost by either side. The treaty addressed issues like impressment and trade disputes but didn’t directly resolve them; instead, both nations agreed to stop fighting. The war’s end led to improved relations and a sense of national identity for the U.S.. It was ratified in February 1815, marking the conclusion of hostilities.
