The Battle of Baltimore

The Battle of New Orleans
• The Treaty of Ghent had been signed after the Battle of Baltimore
• Neither commander of the U.S. or the British heard about this treaty in the south, so a battle was fought even after a peace treaty had been signed
• The Americans still won and that put an exclamation mark on the war

Results of the War
• 1) Respect and national pride – we took our place among the best nations in the world
• 2) Words to national anthem – Francis Scott Key writes the official song of America
• 3) Other than that, not much…a random and pointless war that the U.S. wanted nothing to do with
