The '''Treaty of Ghent''' was the document ending the [[War of 1812]]. The American delegation, consisting of [[John Quincy Adams]], [[James A. Bayard, Sr.]], [[Henry Clay]], and [[Albert Gallatin]], had no chips to bargain with to greatly influence the peace terms. As both sides had their shares of victories and defeats, the [[Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|British]] faced the same problem. As [[Napoleon]] had been defeated in 1814 by the [[Napoleonic Wars|Sixth Coalition]], the issues of impressment and trade interference were no longer relevent. The [[Native Americans]] had been suppressed. Pre-war boundaries were re-established, and peace was declared.
