This stunning victory was in New Orleans where the US Military, led by Major General Andrew Jackson routed the British forces. It was more decisive in American minds than from an actual military perspective as the Treaty of Ghent (ending the war) had been signed in Belgium on December 24, 1814, but the British defeat in New Orleans vindicated the US as a nation.
