The final battle of the War of 1812 was the Battle of New Orleans.This battle gave a clear demonstration of the need for effective communication during wartime;it also showed the disastrous results that can come to pass when communication is inadequate.
The War of 1812 was fought between Great Britain and the very young country of the United States only a relatively few years after the United States had won its independence from Britain.The United States had declared war againt Britain in June of 1812,mostly because of interference with U.S.shipping by the British and because of the shanghaiing of U.S.sailors for enforced service on British vessels.The war lasted for a little more than two years,when a piece treaty was signed at Ghent,in Belgium,on the 24th of December,1814.
Unfortunately,the news that the Treaty of Ghent had been signed and that the war was officiially over was not communicated in a timely manner over the wide distance to where the war was being contested.Negotiations for the treaty and the actual signing of the treaty took place in Europe,and news of the treaty had to be carried across the Atlantic to the war front by ship.A totally unnecessary loss of life was incurred as a result of the amount of time that it took to inform the combatants of the treaty.
Early in January of 1815,some two weeks after the peace treaty had been signed.British troops in the southern part of the United States were unaware that the war had officially anded.Over 5000 British troops attacked U.S. troops.During the ensuing battle,known as the Battle of New Orleans,The British suffered a huge number of casualties,around 2000 and the Americans lost 71,all in a battle fought only because news of the peace treaty that had already been signed in Ghent had not yet reached the battlefield.
