The end of the War of 1812 was heralded by the American victory at New Orleans in January of 1815. While a peace treaty had already been signed in December of 1814, news had not yet reached the combatants. Yet, with this decisive victory in hand, the Americans could be assured that the terms of the treaty, ratified by Congress in February of 1815, would be duly upheld by the British.

Although the War of 1812 ended in a stalemate, Americans have seen it as a victory due to the fact that British forces that had invaded the United States were for the most part defeated allowing the nation to retain its sovereignty.

Americans considered the War of 1812 a glorious victory because the British were taken down brutally, and the Americans won. Andrew Jackson becomes a hero, and his newfound fame helps him win the election for presidency in 1828
