Historians consider General Andrew Jackson’s victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans the greatest land victory of the War of 1812. The victory ensured America’s sovereignty over the Louisiana Territory, which in turn led to a wave of new settlement in that area.
Today the battlefield is preserved as a tourist attraction. It features a monument whose cornerstone was laid in 1840 after Jackson visited the field on the 25th anniversary of the battle. Chalmette National Cemetery is also on the site. It houses the remains of only one veteran of the Battle of New Orleans; it is mainly for veterans of the Civil War (on the Union side), the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Vietnam conflict.
Like all good historical restorations and most of our national historical parks, this one conjures up the history it celebrates. Visitors to the site may gain a panoramic view of the field of battle, with large reproductions of American cannons still fixed at several batteries and the front lines clearly visible. On the left, tourists may envision Colonel Robert Rennie’s attack, which briefly overtook the American rampart. In the center, small-arms fire tore through the British Highlanders troops. On the right, the brigade run by General Samuel Gibbs came to grief under fire from General John Coffee’s Tennessean troops.
