It is hoped that all will note that the American Revolution actually ended with the War of 1812, as the British finally ceased pursuing us as a colonial interest and that the Battle of Plattsburgh was that which caused the British to make this decision by suing for peace at the treaty of Ghent, probably so that they could withdraw their most valuable troops from Plattsburgh to take part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year, their plan to cut the country in half halving been spoiled again as it was during the early days of the revolution when Benedict Arnold slowed the British advance at the battle of Valcour such that they lost at Saratoga.
