On January 8th, 1815; over 5,000 British Troops under the command of Sir Edward Pakenham marched against this city, hoping that by capturing the city they could separate Louisiana from the rest of the United States. However, the pirate -Jean Lafitte had warned the Americans of the attack, and the arriving British found militiamen under General Andrew Jackson strongly entrenched. In a mere half-hour, over 2000 British troops were killed at a cost of only 8 American lives. This provided the young country of America with her first huge victory in battle and made General Jackson a national hero. This battle took place two weeks after the War of 1812 officially ended and was the last armed engagement between the United States and Britain. Name this city (The Battle of ***********).
