I'm guessing that Andrew Jackson will be next?




this has probably been mentioned in this long thread but this one has always had me puzzled. Sure, AJ is polarizing, shuttled off the Native in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee to Oklahoma, killed a ton more (Creek, Seminoles, etc) but his ties to NOLA is undeniable. He is the savior of that city, am I right? He took a bunch of hillbilly volunteers from Tennessee and Kentucky, joined up with more volunteers (pirates, Natives) and whooped the shite out of the Brits. Without AJ, Brits control the Mississippi and strategic NOLA, right? What am I missing here? My history of AJ may be off some but the point remains, Mr. Jackson was a bad mother fricker who saved NOLA and he should be saved and revered for all time down there in Louisiana

The fight took place after the treaty that ended the war had been signed. But I am pretty sure that if the city had fallen, the Brits would have claimed it and held on to it for as long as they could. I don't see them being like "Oh, sorry old chap, yes we actually took the city after the war. Please forgive us Have it back, and have some tea and scones as well for your troubles."
