Get facts, maps, historical significance, strategies, and more in this concise summary of Andrew Jackson’s, and America’s, War of 1812 triumph.
The War of 1812 was not going particularly well for the United States. The British were blockading America’s coasts, damaging commerce, and thwarting any hopes for U.S. territorial gains in Canada. After two years of fighting, Americans were further humiliated when, in August of 1814, the British burned the U.S. Capitol. The people in the young republic yearned for respect. Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson would finally give them what they wanted with his lopsided victory at New Orleans. The victory was significant enough for the U.S. to earn the respect of Britain, which never again treated America as anything less than an independent power. It would also launch the political career of a future president.
Learn how Andrew Jackson’s unique leadership propelled a ragtag American army to victory against great odds, while overconfidence and coordination errors contributed to British defeat.
The Battle Digest summary includes all the key aspects of the campaign and battle, including maps, images, and lessons learned.
