Which of the following statements about the Treaty of Ghent is not true?

(D) It did not address the idea of freedom of the seas.

Answer 1

Not true. B. IT SETTLED THE BORDER DISPUTES INVOLVING THE LOUISIANA TERRITORY.

The Treaty of Ghent stated that all conquered territories will be returned and commissions were planned to settle the boundaries between the United States and Canada.

The treaty ended the war in 1812 but it did not address the problems about British impressment of American sailors and freedom of the seas which were the two main cause of the war.
