so what if it was fought after the war of 1812 officially ended? you couldn't trust the British of that time to honor a treaty if they had such an upper hand.
It's now known that the British general in charge of the forces in New Orleans had specific orders to ignore word of any treaty coming from Ghent. So the importance of this battle is much more than most people realize. I've found the few TV specials in the last couple of days very interesting and educational. I need to make it out to the battlefield one day.
