The best treaty?
Another of the weekly questions for folks:
What was the best treaty struck over the course of the conflict?
As always, argue it however you like.
I have a sneaking suspicion someone may say Vienna, which will cause others to decry the Bourbon restoration, but still... 😉

@david Tomlinson The press also brought in non-British subjects. According to the US State Department figures there were apparently 6,257 Americans impressed by the Royal Navy from 1803 to 1812 and 3,000 between 1793 to 1802.
That has nothing to do with what the British did on their own ships or territory. And the usual excuse of them being at war with France is a very large 'so what?' Those are nothing more than weak excuses for a practice that brought on a war that neither the United States or Great Britain needed or wanted.
