What battle was fought after the Treaty of Ghent was signed?
President James Madison asked Congress to declare war on Great Britain in 1812 because Great Britain's navy and privateers were raiding American shipping at sea, stealing cargoes and taking American sailors and forcing them into British service. Great Britain had no respect for the United States because it was still fairly recent that they had won their independence. Madison knew this was a desperate measure but felt there was no other choice but to stand up to Great Britain this way.
Madison was stampeded by other politicians into launching an invasion meant to forcibly annex Canada, but that invasion failed badly on several fronts, and led to a British counter-invasion, which occupied large portions of American territory and famously burned the White House.

Why was president Jackson particularly sympathetic toward Peggy Eaton?
Peggy was the wife of Jackson's Secretary of War. Jackson was generally supportive of his cabinet and wanted them and them and their wives to be sociable. He likely saw parallels to the dislike of Peggy and attacks made on him and his now diseased wife. He was not a snob, was from the frontier and did not particularly appreciate the social distinctions made by Mrs. Calhoun and the Washington society ladies.
No it wasn't, because it occurred two weeks after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. One of the greatest ironies in warfare - the most iconic battle of the war after the war's end.
