The Battle of New Orleans happened after the Peace Treaty was signed.

The burning of Washington.

But there's much worse, such as the entire excuse used to go to war.

A group of American legislators known as the War Hawks saw a chance to forcibly annex Canada, and invade the aboriginal homeland that blocked westward expansion.

This didn't go over well in New England. In fact, the seven New England states knew that they'd be on the front line, and knew a Royal Navy blockade would shut down the seaports that were crucial to the US economy.

But President James Madison was stampeded into attacking the neighbour, a decision that caused rioting. New Englanders immediately began seriously discussing seceding from the Union. The state of Vermont shrugged and continued to sell strategic war materials to the British.

The US invaders, while they hugely outnumbered the Canadian and British defenders, and their native allies, were decisively defeated in a string of battles.

It is true, though, that the Battle of New Orleans was a waste of time, since it had absolutely no effect on the war's outfit. Nor was it the last battle. That was the equally strategic Battle of Fort Bowyer, in which the British took a fort that controlled Mobile Bay; all a total waste of lives.
