What is the Battle of New Orleans?

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

Sir Edward Pakenham was the commander of the British forces as the Battle of New Orleans. When he arrived to lead the British Army, Pakenham was enraged by Andrew Jackson’s overnight raid of the British camp. The next morning, Pakenham attacked. The siege lasted 30 minutes before the British were soundly routed. Pakenham himself died on the battlefield.

Moreover, this entire battle was in vain as news of the Treaty of Ghent, which had ended the War of 1812, had yet to reach New Orleans.

Here’s a Sir Edward Pakenham bio at the National Park Service website.
