	THE UNITED STATES RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF GHENT
		The response to the peace and the response to the treaty were not entirely one in the same, but that in no way means the treaty itself was not received favorably by the public or the press.
		The nearly universally positive reception of the treaty and the readily available information regarding its negotiation, taken together with the "speedy action" and, as shall be seen, the lack of dissent or even debate in the Senate on the treaty, the second proposition seems equally plausible.
		The treaty may not have fulfilled everyone's original expectations, but, from the war's course alone or from the record of the negotiations, it was very clear that the final outcome--Adam's "peace upon honorable terms"--could have been so much worse.

		Negotiations were not helped by comments in French newspapers in Ghent that described the British as barbarians for their burning of Washington.
		At the Ghent peace talks, Britain was more willing to negotiate than would usually be expected; Britain had far bigger problems than the War of 1812 to worry about.

		A. In the U.S. The primary consideration for understanding the survival of the Jay Treaty free passage provision is the fact that it remained unchallenged in the courts until well into the twentieth century.
		The reasons for survival of the Jay Treaty free passage right in Canada are likely very similar to that of the United States: relative [*PG334]lateness in addressing the right167 and respect for fundamental rights of native groups.
		The ultimate fate of the Jay Treaty, the Treaty of Ghent, and related legislation seems to be of some dispute, and both U.S. and Canadian courts are unsure how to treat it.

		The treaty said that land captured during the war, including any land captured between the signing and the ratification, would be returned to its original country of ownership.
		But since the best defense is a good offense, the British wanted to continue treaty negotiations from a strong position, and so continued their attacks on American land to make sure that the Americans would agree to peace.

		The Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, was ratified by the United States Senate on February 16, 1815 by a vote of 35 to 0.â President Madison ratified the treaty later that day, and the peace became official when Secretary of State James Monroe exchanged ratifications with British secretary Anthony Baker.
		Despite the quality and stature of their work, these historians all seem to miss something about the treaty.â Some grant that it was praised at home and readily accepted by the President and the Senate, and some see it as the beginning of a new nationalism.
		It [the treaty] is not such as under more propitious circumstances might have been expected, and to be fairly estimated must be compared not with or desires but with what the situation of both parties and of the world at and during the negotiation made attainable.
