American government was the conquest of the British provinces on the
northern border, and several of the most important engagements were
fought on Canadian soil. After severe fighting with varying success, a
treaty of peace was signed at Ghent on Dec. 24, 1814. By this treaty all
territory taken by either country (except some islands on the Bay of
Passamaquoddy) was to be restored. All the American claims that led to
the war were left unsettled by the treaty. =Index=: =R= Loyalty of
