The Flag Still StandsAs Washington, D.C., lay in ashes, the British attempted to capture Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, Maryland.

After this attack, Francis Scott Key saw the American flag flying over Fort McHenry.

While imprisoned on a British ship, he wrote the poem “The Star Spangled Banner.”

The War Ends● The Treaty of Ghent ended the

war in 1814.

● Neither side won but both agreed to end the war.

The War Ends

Under the Treaty of Ghent, no borders were changed. The U.S. maintained control of the Northwest and Louisiana territories, as well as the Mississippi River.

Native American groups that lived in the U.S. territories were forced to sign away more of their lands if they fought with the British during the War of 1812.

This allowed for more settlers to move into these territories.
