During the American Revolutionary War, the action that finally convinced the British to negotiate for a final peace with the Americans was a major battle -- in fact, a victory for the Americans. This victory came at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781, where a combined American and French force surrounded and exacted the surrender of a British army led by Lord Cornwallis.
This battle was ironic because two weeks before the Battle of New Orleans was fought a Peace Treaty was signed in Britain to end the war, but US and British soldiers fighting in America did not find out about it yet. So to put it simply, the Battle was fought after the War had already officially ended.
One event that led to the Patriots' defeat of the British at Yorktown was the British General Cornwallis moving his troops to maintain communication with the British Navy. The American victory of Yorktown led to the British engaging in peace talks with America. The British could afford to spend years writing an agreeable treaty, but could not spend more money on the army.
They were generous because the British hoped that they would be able to establish economics links with the Americans. America was a very profitable economic zone for the British, and they hoped to try and keep it that way.
After their disastrous defeat in the 1781 Battle of Yorktown, the British entered into peace talks with the Americans primarily due to exhaustion. The war had gone on longer than expected; their losses had become unacceptably high; they simply could not afford to continue hostilities.

They ignored it, and to keep peace, they expanded the British army in America to 75 hundred.

No. There was a Battle of Mobile after the Battle of New Orleans. The British captured a fort protecting the city. They stopped the battle when they received word the peace treaty had been signed. That was the last battle.
Yorktown in 1781 With the surrender at Yorktown, King George lost control of Parliament to the peace party, and there were no further major military activities in North America. The British had 30,000 garrison troops occupying New York City, Charleston, and Savannah. The war continued elsewhere, including the siege of Gibraltar and naval operations in the East and West Indies, until peace was agreed in 1783 [the Treaty of Paris].
The battle of Yorktown or Saratoga.Yorktown got the final settlements, but Saratoga was when the US secured French aid.
They ignored them, and expanded the British Army in America to keep peace. Please like if it helped :)
