I don't believe the old canard spread so generously that The SIGNING of the Treaty of Ghent in Deccember 1814 ended the war.
Well if the UK had won the Battle of New Orleans and done it decisively do you think the treaty would have been ratified as is and if not, how much would that have mattered?
After all, what is an unratified treaty worth?
I suppose the UK would have said "The war is over even though we find out about New Orleans now. Even though we haven't ratified the treaty yet, we will,
just as if there were no battle."
I think if you check you will find that the Brits indeed ratified the treaty well after getting the word about New Orleans.
