For teachers:
The unfinished section of the painting was for the British
delegation, but they refused to sit for Mr. West. Their disdain and
outright hatred for the Americans kept them from consenting to
become immortalized for all time. Many of my students connect to
the many disagreements they have with their friends and realize
the British really knew how to hold a grudge. Their refusal to sit for
the painting is a powerful symbol for students, and serves as a
preview for problems ahead that eventually lead to the War of 1812.
By presenting this painting to students I provide a few details
regarding peace negotions and press upon the fact that a peace
treaty doesn’t mean that all issues are resolved. Some are ongoing
and eventually lead to another war.
