This is the story of General Andrew Jackson’s great victory over a British army commanded by Sir Edmund Packenham during the war of 1812. The British landed at New Orleans in an attempt to win decisive control over the Mississippi valley, but Jackson, aided by the French pirate Jean Laffitte, constructed formidable fortifications. During the fight which followed only 71 American troops became casualties while the losses on the British side amounted to some 2,000. The British cause was lost and they soon embarked for home.
