This is serious! My teacher wants us to teach the class about The Treaty of Ghent, but I don't know a lot about it. All I know is the it ended the War of 1812.
Please help me.

III. The Treaty of Ghent
1. At first, the confident British made sweeping demands for a neutralized Indian buffer state in the Great Lakes region, control of the Great Lakes, and a substantial part of conquered Maine, but the Americans, led by John Quincy Adams, refused. As American victories piled up, though, the British reconsidered.
2. The Treat of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, was an armistice, acknowledging the draw in the war and ignoring any other demands of either side.
If you want to read the actual treaty (or at least I think it is) here is the link: http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/britian/ghent.htm (I just googled it)

That's basically it. I would like to add that both sides regained the land captured by the other side. Basically, the war did nothing...
