See New England War of Independence

1816' '
The war continued until January 20, but it was widely accepted that it was for all purposes over. Nomilitary actions were taken during the year of 1816 in the New England War of Independence. During this time New England had begun rebuolding land damaged in the war and building up a trading fleet. Hoping to become a economic leader of the Americas, they purchased goods, ships, and ports from various European nations. One area they sold lots to was Spain, who was purchasing vast amounts of guns and supplies to pacify her rebelling colonies.

They were also interested in Haiti. Haiti was along with New England and the US was one of the only independnet North Americans nations. They were poor compared to New England, and so New England contacted them, trying to arrange diplomatic relations and trade deals.

On January 20, Rufus King of the Federalists was sworn into office and he called for negoiations with the Republic of New England. On February 16 the Treaty of Newport was signed. This treaty recongized the Republic of New England, payed war repreations and agreed to immediate diplomatic relations. This involved both sides sending an embassy to the other. With hostitalities dissolved, people on both sides on the border could cross easily. This also meant that New England could deal with the US economy, which was one of the first actions of the Embassy in D.C.

On November 15, 1816 the Republic of New England signed an tradee agreement with the U.S. agreeing for lowered tariffs on each other's products and no embergoss or economic restrictions to be placed on the other. This was a grear success for both sides. New England could maintain their various trade networks in the US, and expand them, and the US economy was able to recover somewhat with connections to the major econamic center restored.

With the Federalists in charge of the United States government, and the Liberty Party (basically the federalist) in charge of New England, they shared similar political views. And since most had known each other before the war, they felt a bond. Both of these helped prevent a total cold war. But relations were still frosty, with the Americans viewing the New Englanders as traitors and the New Englanders viewing the Americans as corrupt.

Also of annoyance to the US were the Shawnee Confederacy, who now meant an independent protected Native American nation bordering the US. While the nation was disorganized and not at all westernized, it presented several problems. The fist and most obvious was the exodus of White settlers from the frontier. Tens of thousands were now fleeing the Shawnee Confederacy to the US. This posed a serious immagration policy for border states, who now had to place thousands of people each into their lands. And since most of the "unoccupied" lands were full of Native Americans, supported by the Shawnee, huge border conflicts were occurring.

For Native American groups were more determined to gain independence, upon seeing it was possible. Although many griups fled to the Shawnee Confederacy, many stood their ground, determined to keep their ancient lands. These groups weree all helped by the Shawnee, who personally les massacres and attacks in US territory. Since the US couldn't prove it was the Shawnee, they couldn't react. This didnt stop Kentucky, who had been the target of the majority of these raids and whose rivalry was inflamed, from leading expeditions to massacre Shawnee tribes close to the border.
