FOUGHT AFTER THE WAR ENDED

The myth that the Battle of New Orleans was fought “after the war” is just that. A myth. While US and British envoys agreed to a treaty in Ghent, Belgium, on December 24, 1815, this was AFTER the first two engagements of the Battle of New Orleans and the British army already occupying the Villeré and LaCoste Plantations just south of the city. The treaty was not ratified by the US Senate and Parliament until February 17, 1815, and the war ended.
