The map omits two of the most important battles of the war as far as the territorial outcome of the Treaty of Ghent. The Battle of Lake Erie (aka Battle of Put in Bay) was where the entire British Upper Great Lakes Fleet surrendered. With the Great Lakes supply lines cut, the British and their Indian allies destroyed the forts at Detroit and Amherstburg and tried to retreat up the Thames River hoping to reach the main British base at Burlington on Lake Ontario.The American army under General Harrison caught up with them at Moraviantown and the British were defeated. Most important was that Tecumseh was killed at this battle and, with his death, the Indian Confederation fell apart and thousands of the warriors just went home. When the Duke of Wellington, fresh from defeating Napoleon, was subsequently offered command of the British Army in America, he said he'd go but couldn't promise anything unless the Navy first got control of the Great Lakes. Otherwise, he told the negotiators that they may as well give up on any territorial demands and just make peace with the US. See "Three Strikes in the War of 1812".
