Best Answer

Treaty of Ghent, (Dec. 24, 1814), agreement in Belgium between Great Britain and the United States to end the War of 1812 on the basis that maintained the prewar conditions because the military positions for each side were so well balanced that neither would win.
In the American Northwest all British-held territory in this area was surrendered to the United States and thus opened the way to American settlement of the Northwest.
The treaty also provided that certain boundary disputes between Canada and the United States be referred to arbitration. Both the U.S. and British governments agreed to use their best efforts to abolish the international slave trade
