Peace News Reaches City On Christmas Eve 1814
The article recalls the Ghent Treaty ending the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, signed December 24, 1814, with readers told of the dispatches reaching New York on February 11 1815 and public reaction in both nations. It notes the enduring peace, the 1000 mile border with Canada unfortified, and highlights figures like Adams Gallatin Bayard and Jackson, plus subsequent interpretations and praise of the treaty despite ongoing disputes on impressment and boundaries.
