The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.From the 1840s through the 1880s, thousands trekked westward, carrying only a few belonging and supplies for the journey, and settling on the western frontier, forever changing the American West. 1843 - The Christmas card is invented (Sir Henry Cole and John Callcott Horsley, England)Artificial Freezer Patented (Nancy M.
