A Correct VIew of the Battle Near the City of New Orleans (January 8, 1815), ca. 1816

A Correct VIew of the Battle Near the City of New Orleans (January 8, 1815), ca. 1816. Fought on 8 January 1815, the Battle of New Orleans was the last major engagement of the War of 1812. The Americans, commanded by Major-General Andrew Jackson, defeated the British who had landed with the intention of seizing the territory that the United States had secured from France via the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The war had already been officially ended by the Treaty of Ghent, signed on 24 December 1814, but news of the treaty did not reach the combatants until February 1815
