and his CORY young Republicans mao
mustered sufficient strength TO declare
war the British parliament already
was discussing the abandonment or the
Objectionable practices Of which the
Americans complained. If that fact
had been known in Washington the
action taken by congress century ago
would have been made impossible.
When the peace commissioners met
in Client in 1914 the Americans were
willing to accept peace on terms most
advanta geous to Great Britain. The
American arms had been VIGOROUSLY
unsuccessful on land, and although the
naval victories were most glorious. the
wiser heads Of the Madison administra-
ton were ready to quit. The capital
had been captured and sacked. the
public buildings burned and the presi-
dent forced to fee into the country.
The land forces had proved TO be most
incapable, and there had been scandal
after scandal fin the army.
Therefore the American commission
ers were willing to sign a treaty OF
peace which said q great deal about
| the boundary between the United
States and Canada, but never a word
about the right Of Great Britain TO
search American ships and impress
| American seamen.
The British public deemed the treaty
| of Client to be a complete victory for
England, and if the news OF the con.
clusion Of peace had reached America
at once there is little doubt that even
Americans would have admitted vir
tual defeat. But more than three weeks
after the treaty was signed, and Ions
before news OF it had reached Ameri
can shores, General Andrew Jackson
at New Orleans had destroyed the Brit
ish army and had restored the glory o.
American arms.
