Pacifism in the United States

The war ended in February 1815. New peace groups formed shortly thereafter: the New York Peace Society (est. August 1815) and Massachusetts Peace Society (est. December 1815).[4]

The American Peace Crusade formed in 1951, in opposition to U.S. involvement in the Korean War.
