February 18: Lasting Peace with Great Britain (Vol. 43, pp. 255-264)
Today's reading is the Treaty of Ghent, which was signed this day in 1815 and ended the War of 1812. It marked the beginning of nearly two centuries of good relations between the United Kingdom and its former colony.
I have been involved in broadcast, print and online media in New England for nearly three decades.
Currently, I am the chief editorial writer at the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.
I have also been a regular contributor since 1996 to The American Reporter, the first online-only daily newspaper in America.
I am a 1983 graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and 1997 graduate of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. I was also an infantry sergeant in the Massachusetts Army National Guard from 1981 until 1987.
