- The Battle of New Orleans was fought on January 8, 1815 between the British Army under Major General Sir Edward Pakenham and the United States Army under Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson. The battle was the climax of the five month Gulf Campaign (September 1814 to February 1815) by Britain to try to take New Orleans, West Florida, and possibly Louisiana Territory Britain started the New Orleans campaign on December 14, 1814, at the Battle of Lake Borgne and numerous skirmishes and artillery duels happened in the weeks leading up to the final battle. The battle took place 18 days after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the War of 1812, on December 24, 1814, though it would not be ratified by the United States (and therefore did not take effect) until February 16, 1815. espite a large British advantage in numbers, training, and experience, the American forces defeated a poorly executed assault in slightly more than 30 minutes. The Americans suffered just 71 casualties, while the British suffered over 2,000, including the deaths of the commanding general, Major General Sir Edward Pakenham, and his second-in-command, Major General Samuel Gibbs.

My 5th great grandfather, Drury Stovall, was one of the US soldiers killed during the battle of Chalmette. My wife and I were able to visit this battlefield 2 months ago and it was a great experience.
I appreciate you sharing your family’s story. It was a great visit and I learned a ton.
I miss that area. Grew up five minutes away from the battlefield. Was a different place back then.
Great video. Very interesting to learn something new about the forgotten battle of New Orleans. Those cannons are also beautiful preserved.
It’s an interesting battle to learn about. Thanks for watching man!
My great great great great grandfather William Jesse Rogers also known as "Billy Bowlegs" was one of the pirates who fought along side Jean Lafitte with some Choctaw Indians. As the British retreated back to Mobile Lafitte, Rogers and a handful of pirates and Indians chased and harassed the Britts through the swamps and woods killing as many as they could using gorilla warfare tactics.
Wow. Appreciate you sharing your family’s story.
Really well done and seeing the ground adds so much to the historical reality of the battle! Corps. Is still pronounced “core,” though.
Appreciate that! Seeing the terrain really helps me understand the battle.
Haha yes I’m aware just another brain 💨 for me.
The open ground was over swampland which limited mobility and use of heavy artillery. This was the major reason for the British defeat.
Yeah I covered that briefly at 5:22. Couldn’t imagine trying to march across that ground while under fire.
Solid video. I make it a point to visit many of the Eastern coast sites such as this, anytime possible. Gulf Coast, next.
It was a great place. Anytime there is a battlefield nearby I try to set time aside to visit. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Very informative! Love seeing where the canal, battle lines, and cannon placement was.
Appreciate that! It was cool to see in person. Really helped me understand it a little better.
Very interesting I learned a lot
Thanks for watching. I learn a ton as well filming.
Well done video.
Appreciate the feedback and kind words. Thanks for watching as well.
I am distantly related to Renato Beluche ❤
Thanks for the video, you have a John Travokta chin! Currently obsessed with Andrew Jackson
Thanks for watching. He’s a very interesting guy to learn about. I’ve been told I’m the John Travolta of my generation 😂
I was in this area in 1998, I need to get back to it. Uniforms, cannon and other weapons during this period are interesting, so much for the Victors of the Napoleonic wars ! The BRITS !
I’m the same way. The tactics, weapons and uniforms are fascinating to me.
@@ProjectPast1565 Hello, The REV War, War of 1812, War with Mexico, Civil War ( mostly the CSA side of , there many differences in Equipment, Weapons, Uniforms, cannon ) And WWII War in Europe, and Eastern Front, are of most interest to me. I was a CSA reenactor for many years, but no longer can do the infantry part of things, but am still a drummer and do guard duty's etc. Camp Stuff, one of one with the public, THX for the great video, I need to visit some battle site again, been a while.
@@ralphgeigner5497 thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you can see the battlefield again sometime soon.
@@ProjectPast1565 Hello, Years ago, we took a vacation to the Niagara area and Canadian side, it was interesting just how much of the War Of 1812 was fought in that area.
@@ralphgeigner5497 oh wow. That’s cool! Another forgotten aspect of the war of 1812
Outstanding tour of the battlefield, great overview if you're reading "Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans"
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
For me it was no miracle, it was just the effect of Jackson's superior ingenuity.
Lafitte & Associates supplied the powder and flint.. Many of Lafitte's men had fought for Napoleon against the Brits.
Interesting! Thanks for watching
A good book to read about this conflict is “Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans@ by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yeager. Sentinel Publications 2017.
The battle that completes the Mad Libs of american history that is the War of 1812.
It was such a strange conflict. Just when I think I understand it a bit I find myself confused again.
The war want over during the battle. Neither congress nor parliament ratified the peace treaty at the time
The treaty was signed on Dec 24th 1814 but yes, it wasn’t ratified until Feb by the US government due to word traveling so slow. The treaty was approved by the British Parliament and signed into law by the Prince Regent (the future King George IV) on December 30, 1814.
Thanks! note: corps is pronounce "cor" no ps.
Thanks for watching!
The war hadn't ended at the time of the battle. Neither congress nor parliament had ratified the treaty. If the British won this battle, they would cut off western expansions (west of Mississippi river).
The treaty was signed on Dec 24th 1814 but yes, it wasn’t ratified until February by the US government due to word traveling so slow. The treaty was approved by the British Parliament and signed into law by the Prince Regent (the future King George IV) on December 30, 1814.
The British winning would of certainly changed the landscape of the United States. Thanks for watching!
