Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -1. Why was the Battle of New Orleans fought after the Americans and British had already signed a peace treaty? Although American and British negotiators signed a peace treaty between their two nations in Ghent on December 24, 1814, news of the treaty had not reached the shores of the United States by January 8, 1815.
