Regarding the timeline of events at 3:45, it is true that the Treaty of Ghent was signed before the Battle of New Orleans on December 24, 1814. Due to the Treaty being signed in Belgium, news of the event had not yet reached the armies in New Orleans, which is why the battle was still fought. The Treaty was officially ratified by the Senate on February 16, 1815, which is what our speaker meant to convey. Thanks for the notes.

The Canadian perspective in this war is interesting. The War of 1812 made Canada a nation. While Canada would not gain its independence from Great Britain until July 1, 1867, the War of 1812 brought the colonists in Canada, who were from a number of different backgrounds, together as one nationality. They did not fight the Americans because they were commanded to by the British, but rather as defenders of Canada. French Canadians had lived as British citizens and since the British guaranteed them the freedom to their language, culture, and religion, and as they did not know if the US would give them the same freedoms they enjoyed, they fought against the US. The english Canadians were largely made up of the displaced Loyalists who fled the US during the Revolution. This war was the beginning of the self-identification of the Canadian nation which became a reality in 1867.

Ummm...a couple of corrections. 1) This was not a defensive war for the US. We invaded Canada 3x. The initial 'rationale' for the war (i.e. impressment) had ceased in 1810. (through negotiations) Indeed Henry Clay advocated for the invasion of Canada to seize it from the British, fulfilling an old aim from as far back as the Seven Years War. (when colonials successfully seized Louisbourg and were angry with the British government for not sharing the rest of Canada. We even tried to seize Quebec for ourselves during the Revolution) A speech Clay made in the US Senate referred to the seizure of Canada being so easy; it was a "mere matter of marching." In fact, it wasn't until the British counteroffensive in 1814 (the way they and the Canadians saw it) that the US was defending anything. (the burning of Washington was retaliation for the US burning of York in 1813 - current-day Toronto) 2) The Treaty of Ghent was signed nearly a month before the Battle of New Orleans. That was a meaningless battle that occurred simply because the news didn't make it back across the Atlantic in time. One of the reasons we don't talk about it much is because it doesn't fit our national narrative of only fighting 'defensive' wars and didn't result in new territory. (otherwise, the Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars would likely also be 'forgotten')

Uh correction! The Brits were kidnapping American sailors to fight Napoleon. So America in defense declared war on Britain and attacked its nearest territory. Like how America bombed Japan after Pearl Harbor. Then after years of fighting, the Brits were kicked out of New York and Maryland and lost the war. The Brits even later lost at New Orleans. The Brits has to give the U.S money and lost territories in the northwest. Get an education!

@@stephenyoung8069 British Parliament ratified the treaty on Dec 30, a full 10 days before the Battle of New Orleans. Congress ratified it in early Feb. While it might shock you, while they lost at New Orleans, the British had seized both Pensacola and Mobile. The rationale for ending the war was due to the realization that it was basically over a misunderstanding, though the War Hawks push for war did not result in any embarrassment for them, and it should have. New Orleans was basically a bandaid held up by later generations allowing us the veneer of myth that we "defended" ourselves when we were the ones doing the invading most of the war.

@@bowen1704 Maybe you should learn some history. The US army for the most part did a very poor job during the war plus when Napoleon was defeated, the British parliament was seriously debating sending the bulk of their army which was still in Europe to North America and had that happened it would most likely end with the death of the early republic. But Wellington was literally like "meh....why bother?". The only operations that the Americans performed well in was in northern New York as well as some admittedly impressive single ship to ship duels especially with the USS Constitution(although these ship duels had very little effect on the war overall) but practically everywhere else they were getting licked. Even the "great victories" of New Orleans and Baltimore are so over-hyped. New Orleans occured after the war was officially over and it happened after the British had taken over the entire gulf coast and Baltimore wasn't even a victory at all because the royal navy was basically blockading the entire Chesapeake coastline so who cares about one little fort?

Factual Error - As a professor of history, I’m always aggrieved to see videos posted that contain historical errors. However, it is particularly disappointing in this case given that the transgressor is the American Battlefield Trust. At 3:45, the narrator states that “shortly after [the Battle of] New Orleans, the Treaty of Ghent… is signed.” In reality, the Treaty of Ghent was signed on December 24, 1814, while the Battle of New Orleans began more than two weeks later on January 8, continuing to January 26, 1815. To those unfamiliar with these events, this may seem like a minor error. But the victory at New Orleans was more than just “icing on the cake.” The United States had declared war against a distracted Great Britain who was heavily engaged with defeating Napoleon. Even this was an act of great hubris for a fledgling nation that was not truly prepared for war. Having defeated France, Britain directed a much greater force of her military might toward North America. Suddenly, the United States became very motivated to sue for peace. Achieving the treaty negotiated in Belgium was extremely good news for most Americans, but not simply for the obvious reason of ending the war. Due to the extraordinarily slow pace of transatlantic communications, news of the treaty came well after news of the victory at New Orleans. And what a victory it was! The Americans suffered only 71 casualties, while the British had more than 2000. Initially, Americans were extremely excited to hear the news, but as more sober times followed, some concern arose about how might the British respond. Would they seek revenge? Therefore, the news that shortly followed that a treaty had been finalized even before the battle occurred brought a sense of relief and jubilation. Clearly, the order of these events is of great consequence.

😂😂 the burning of Washington never once brought the “Americans to the table” in fact it lead to the battle of Baltimore and the British retreat from the Chesapeake.

The British, however, insisted that the Treaty of Ghent would only end the war after both sides ratified the agreement, this did not occur until February 17th, 1815 when the U.S. Senate unanimously ratified it and the war finally came to an end. The Battle of New Orleans and any other battles fought between December 24th and February 17th were officially apart of the war and did not occur afterward.

The Americans were defeated and chased back to Niagara. In Lower Canada (Quebec) the invading Americans were further defeated at Chateaugua. The English defeated Napoleon and only then turned to the Americans.

@@TheIceman567 Yes, I have studied the war. The US won some battles in Canada and lost others (I don't think I need to list them for you) The main point is that even though they captured & burned York (now Toronto) their several attacks were eventually all repelled. After that Britain attacked the US in retaliation, captured Washington & burned the White House but were defeated in New Orleans and sailed home. (oh, but this campaign is described in another American Battlefield Trust video as an "invasion" whereas the US army attacking Canada was an "excursion" - perhaps the US army saw it as R&R after fighting Tecumseh in the Ohio valley? Did they perhaps book hotels in advance?) To conform with the way the American Battlefield Trust described the US attack on Canada the British campaign should be described this way: "the British excursions to the US had mixed results" Which would be ridiculous, right? That's my point. Of course the War of 1812 as a whole was a stalemate. Neither side won. But the US wanted to capture Canada and turn it into US territory (The "War Hawks" announced it clearly.) This campaign failed. How about you admit it?

@@greyowl7348 don’t worry I can list them all if you like. What “all invasions” were repelled? The USA was in Canada as far as July 1815 not handing back Fort Malden until then, along with Amherstberg and Sandwich and even taking Carleton island. More than the capture of York there were other successful invasions. You seem to forget about the capture of Lake Erie. The destruction of Tecumseh and his confederacy. So, that said, so two were the British Invasions of the USA. Since you seem to leave out the British Invasion of the USA. I love how you’re trying to compare Japan in WW2 to the US attack in Canada. Japan was for land and empire the US attacked because it was the only place it could hurt the British since the Royal Navy outnumbered the US. When in fact the only nation that demanded any and in the war were the British. The burning of Washington had no impact on the war in fact it lead to the battle of Baltimore which later forced the British to retreat from the Chesapeake. Also, during that same time the British attack on Plattsburgh failed. I agree it ended stalemate. Doesn’t seem to be me that needs to do any admitting. The USA had no plans to annex Canada. In fact that an old war myth. In fact the United States Senate voted twice against of annexation of Canada.

I won't argue WHY the US attacked Canada, whether to annex it or just to capture it, hold it and use it as a bargaining chip, because the point is moot. The point is the plan failed, because the US army did not capture and hold Canada. Unless a toehold on the Detroit River ( Fort Malden, Amherstberg and Sandwich are virtually the same place) and tiny Carleton Island on the St. Lawrence are your definition of Canada. The US launched three invasions, suffered all the casualties and end up with 2 toeholds on the border? That's success? I'm not saying the British won the war. I never used the term "annex" Canada. I'm only saying the invasion of Canada failed. And if the British attack on Washington, according to the words you just used, is an invasion, why is the US attack on Canada, according to the video, NOT an invasion? (Thank you for using the term correctly in your post - my beef is with the video on that, not you)

Couple of issues with this. It's 4 minutes long, but it needs to be accurate. The Treaty of Ghent is signed Christmas Eve of 1814. Jackson's actions at New Orleans occur 2 weeks later on Jan 8th, 1815. (He'd been slashed across the face with a sword as a young boy by a British officer quartered in his mother's home during the Revolution, and he held a great hatred for the British. He was not going to be left out of the war.) The great defense of Fort Meigs in early May of 1813 by another future president, William Henry Harrison, who had defeated Tecumseh once before at Tippecanoe in 1811 (non War of 1812 event) , sends Tecumseh's Indian confederacy and their British allies fleeing into Canada, thereby securing Ohio and the Maumee River and halting the British advances in the Western campaign. (Tecumseh retreats with the British to Canada and is killed by Harrison's troops during the Battle of the Thames) Captain Perry's victory over the all powerful BRITISH NAVY (capturing all vessels of a squadron) on Lake Erie further secures the area. Finally, on September 11th, 1814, U.S. Naval and Army forces in Plattsburgh, New York defendLake Champlain, and thwarted British attempts to control that Lake and Lake George. Victory in Plattsburgh seals the British fate. The War is almost won. The British attack Fort McHenry in an attempt to take Baltimore, but are unsuccessful. Also an important victory, but Fort Meigs, Perry's victory on Lake Erie, and the Plattsburgh victory are what shut down British efforts to grab American real estate.

Battle of Plattsburgh was fought in the War of 1812. The battle was fought on Lake Champlain between the US Navy & the Royal Navy. And it was fought inland between the armies of the US and Britain in the City of Plattsburgh as well. The city of Plattsburgh is northern New York State. A reenactment of the battle takes place every September as the battle was fought on September 11, 1814. That day is just not infamous for the attacks in NYC and Washington DC. But also fighting for our independence from Great Britain once again.

@@rogerjr4559 The ideals of a racist reflect onto their work, "Land of the Free and Home of the Oppressed," which was not far from the truth even now. Key not only profited from slaves, but he also harbored racist conceptions of American citizenship and human potential. Africans in America, he said, were: “A distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.” The whole reason this is an argument, or seen as controversial, is because there are those who can't accept the fact that there were racist writings, and that we as a nation need to strive for ideals instead of blinding ourselves to issues still being faced.

@@syriya560 Like I said earlier 'Francis Scott Key may have racist ideas (as many people did at that time)'. I can and do accept the fact that people were different in their thinking 200 years ago. This includes racist ideas. I separated the poet from the poem because Ashan asked a question about the poem - not the poet. The poem is not racist even though it may have been written by someone with racist conceptions. The whole reason this is an argument, it because some people cannot talk about American history without talking about racism. Yes, racism was common through the US against Africans, Native Americans, Irish, Germans, etc. However, some people (even those with racist concepts) created, did or said things that were not racist - like write a poem about how our great country survived a brutal attach.

Really terrible rendition of history. An alliance had been struck with the French CROWN during the Revolution but US presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison all avoided any support of either side in the wars of the French Revolution and the Napoleanic wars. America was simply caught in the middle of the great power struggle. She might have fared better had Jefferson and Madison not drastically cut instead of expanded the already pathetically weak US Navy. The Treaty of Ghent, as noted below, was signed almost a month before the Battle of New Orleams which, obviously had NO effect on its terms. The battles of Lake Erie (1813) and Lake Champlain (1814) which DID profoundly influence those terms are--incredibly--not even mentioned in this "overview". Oh, and USS Hornet was a brig-rigged sloop of war, not a frigate. Do better, ABT.

I love how the U.S. went into Canada expecting to be celebrated as liberators because 'Murica. I am American and I dated a girl from Canada and we had many discussions like this. Canada didn't really want to be liberated. In their view, America was being a brat. I think in many ways this continues today. America is still squabbling over things like the fate of the healthcare system and gun control because to this day our country still cannot come together on any issues of importance. Even the issue surrounding our independence was not widely supported. At the time of the Revolution, only 1/3 of the colonists wanted independence, another 1/3 was strongly opposed to independence, and the other 1/3 didn't care either way. This is not something that is not remembered much because we have America the Free, the Home of the Brave, hammered into our brains from an early age.
