Treårskrigen mellem USA og England slutter med
underskrivelsen af The Treaty of Peace and Amity between His
Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, Concluded at
Ghent, hvorefter 'There shall be a firm and universal peace between
His Britannic Majesty and the United States, and between their
respective countries, territories, cities, towns, and people, of
every degree, without exception of places or persons. All
hostilities, both by sea and land, shall cease as soon as this
treaty shall have been ratified by both parties, as hereinafter
mentioned. All territory, places, and possessions whatsoever, taken
by either party from the other during the war, or which may be
taken after the signing of this treaty, excepting only the islands
hereinafter mentioned, shall be restored without delay, and without
causing any destruction or carrying away any of the artillery or
other public property originally captured in the said forts or
places, and which shall remain therein upon the exchange of the
ratifications of this treaty, or any slaves or other private
property. And all archives, records, deeds, and papers, either of a
public nature or belonging to private persons, which, in the course
of the war, may have fallen into the hands of the officers of
either party, shall be, as far as may be practicable, forthwith
restored and delivered to the proper authorities and persons to
whom they respectively belong. Such of the islands in the Bay of
Passamaquoddy as are claimed by both parties, shall remain in the
possession of the party in whose occupation they may be at the time
of the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, until the
decision respecting the title to the said islands shall have been
made in conformity with the fourth article of this treaty. No
disposition made by this treaty as to such possession of the
islands and territories claimed by both parties shall, in any
manner whatever, be construed to affect the right of
either.'....
