Explanation:

Although the agreement was signed, due to the slow flow of information but also the British government's interference, the war continued and it was not until January 8, 1815, that it reached its conclusion in New Orleans, the last time in history the British and Americans had deployed their forces on the battlefield. Namely, British leaders hoped that by winning the New Orleans victory, they could, before ratifying the Ghent Treaty in Parliament, request additional revision of the agreement, or impose on the Americans some conditions that were not defined by the agreement. Battle

New Orleans was also the biggest conflict of the whole war, though a peace treaty had already been reached. The forces of Andrew Jackson, mostly paramilitary and volunteer, and on the other hand, the professional, numerically superior force of Sir Edward Pakenham, who was married to the celebrated Arthur Wellesley, better known as the Duke of Wellington, clashed there. Jackson's well-prepared defense, which included a system of trenches and ramparts and unfavorable wetland, were key factors in Jacskon's victory.

Despite a dominant military force, after a series of failed attacks and numerous casualties, the British decided to rally the rest of their troops and withdrew from the US ten days later.
