What US war was in 1814?
The War of 1812 against Britain. In 1814 we took a little trip down the lazy river called the mighty Mississipp, we took a little bacon & we took a little beans & we fought the bloomin' British at the town of New Orleans. We fired our guns, the British kept a coming, but there weren't as many as there was while ago: we fired once more & the British started running right down the lazy river to the Gulf of Mexico. (Much as it pains this Limey to type it !)

What did haiti have to do with the war of 1812?
NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!! ASK YOUR SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER DUMMY. Memories of the Haitian revolution had a great effect during the War of 1812 in raising fears of revolts by enslaved Americans when the British arrived on the Atlantic coast, in 1813 and 1814 in the Chesapeake and in 1815 on the coast of Georgia. Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane played on these fears with his Proclamation of April 1814 inviting emigration, which many Americans misread as an incitement to revolt. Some Americans believed the British had a hand in the final stages of the Haitian revolution and thought they might do the same to destroy the American economic and social system. In other words, the answer to the question is: a great deal.
What treaty was signed in 1814?

When did the battle of New Orleans happen?
The battle, on January 8, 1815, was the last battle of the War of 1812 between the US and Britain. It occurred because the British, having successfully attacked some cities on the East Coast, tried to exert pressure on the US by seizing New orleans, the valuable port through which all frontier commerce had to pass along the Mississippi River. The peace treaty had already been signed at Ghent (December 24, 1814), but had yet to reach Congress. It was not ratified until February 18, 1815. A British victory might have resulted in a continued British presence in the lower Mississippi Valley. There were actually several reasons why the war of 1812 started. The official reason as made clear in the declaration of war by the United States of America to Great Britain was the Impression Issue that was made by the British Government under their Orders-in-Council. This Impression Issue is an act whereby men are forced by the government for induction into military service. The British stopped US ships and took crewmen from them claiming they were British-born and therefore British subjects. Moreover, American ships were seized because they had such crewmen, or because they had cargoes on which British duties were claimed due.
