On August 8, 1814, talks began at Ghent, Belgium, that would ultimately result in a treaty ending the War of 1812. The head of the American negotiating team was John Quincy Adams, the U.S.?s most experienced diplomat. The four men who served with him were carefully selected by President Madison to reflect the varieties of political sentiment in the United States. Foremost among them was Henry Clay, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a noted War Hawk. Albert Gallatin had served as Secretary of the Treasury for both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. James Bayard was a U.S. Senator belonging to the Federalist Party who had been an opponent of the war, and was one of the 13 Senators to vote against declaring it. However, once the war began he supported the war effort. Jonathan Russell was acting U.S. ambassador to Britain when war was declared. Sent to Ghent as a negotiator, he was also serving as ambassador to Sweden and Norway. He proved instrumental in achieving the final peace terms.William H. Crawford was U.S. ambassador to France during the negotiations, and was responsible for superintending the American consuls in Europe and keeping them informed of developments. More than that, he was an advisor to the President on the happenings on the Continent. As Ambassador to the Court of one of the two major adversaries in the conflicts in Europe, he was also actively involved in the Ghent negotiation process, advising the negotiators and responding to their confidential communiqu?s.? He would later serve as Secretary of War and Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Madison and Monroe.At the start, the U.S. negotiators had their instructions: "the impressment of seamen and illegal blockades were the principal cause of the war," which would "cease as soon as these rights are respected." British cruisers must not be allowed to stop and search U.S. vessels, which practice "withholds the respect due our flag?It is expected that all American seamen who have been impressed will be discharged.? Another major object of the negotiations was to end the British blockades. ?We also need to be assured that no further interference with our commerce" will take place. Next the instructions took up the question of the British arming and supplying the Indians. The article in the Treaty of 1794 allowing "British traders from Canada and the North to trade with the Indian Tribes in the U.S., must not be renewed." Nor must Britain continue to use native forces against "our Western States and Territories.? Thus, the U.S. negotiators must insist on an end to impressment, and ship seizures, and a stop to aiding the Indians in the American west.In late June, Secretary of State James Monroe had written Crawford, ?If the war goes on, some skillful French officers?may be useful. This is merely a hint??On October 14, pursuant to Monroe?s instructions, Crawford wrote to the Commissioners in code of a secret offer that had been made by the French, to the effect that experienced French troops would come to the US side to fight against the English in America.? ?It is my duty to communicate to you certain propositions which have been made and which it is believed have been made with a sincere desire to fulfil them. It is also believed that engagements of the same kind may be offered to a considerable extent and that the demand for advances [of cash from the U.S.] may be greatly diminished.In the latter event I cannot see any objection which can be offered to it on our part. The difficulty of executing these engagements excludes the idea that they can be very extensive but the advantages which they offer even upon a contracted scale ought not to be overlooked.?? Faced with more stalling from the British, U.S. delegation sent George Boyd, a messenger and secretary, to meet with Crawford in Paris and give a short but optimistic response to the French offer.? John Quincy Adams describes this incident in some detail in his Memoirs.Meanwhile, the British w.
