 , 1815 and the war with England is drawing to a close. Join President Jame
 s Madison\, as presented by John Douglas Hall to discuss the recent Battle
  of New Orleans and the arrival of the Treaty of Ghent in the context of h
 is own time\, and be a witness to the events of the year of 1815. \nWhile 
 the Treaty of Ghent\, ending hostilities\, had been signed by the British 
 Parliament in late December\, it took weeks for the news to reach the stat
 es.  Instead\, the year of 1815 opened with the Battle of New Orleans\, a 
 major U.S. victory thought brought General Andrew Jackson onto the nationa
 l stage.  The salon with President James Madison discussing events as they
  unfold in his time is part of on-going series of presidential salons whic
 h began in 2010  honor of the bicentennial of the War of 1812.  Public que
 stions and opinions related to the salon topics are welcome and encouraged

 lowing the life of James Madison on a day-by-day basis. He offers a very u
 nique opportunity for today's audiences to engage James Madison in convers
 ation in the context of Madison's own time.  In appearance\, in content\, 
 syntax\, and with a remarkable command of the period and the man\, John Do
 uglas Hall has presented James Madison in numerous academic\, governmental
 \, public and private forums for more than 25 years.  \nIn the late 18th a
 nd early 19th centuries\, Gadsby's Tavern was the center of social and pol
