- The Treaty of Ghent was signed for several reasons. Obviously, it brought an end to the war, and this was imperative for both countries, as funds and support were low. Secondly, both sides wanted to resume trade and economic friendliness.
- The Treaty itself was eleven articles long, and ultimately, returned each country its status, possessions, and land just the way it had been before. Essentially, it said nothing was won nor lost, but ended hostilities between the nations.
