Most likely it would be because news of the Treaty had spread faster.
American nationalism would still go through a growth phase, though it would be more focused from New England events (Fort McKinley) and not in the South so much (New Orleans). This might have the longer term effect of emboldening the North states relative to the South, which could mean that the South won't be able to dominate US politics as much. (The North could argue that it was a Southern War fought by the North.)

If that is true then The Battle Of New Orleans was actually fought after the war was officially over and the treaty ending it had been signed.
