After the end of the War of 1812, an American army defeated a British force at the Battle of New Orleans. Which future US President led the American forces at this battle?
Answer Andrew Jackson
The American victory was brought a much needed morale boost to the country. Somewhat awkwardly, it turned out that the battle had been fought after the United States and Britain had signed a peace treaty and ended the war. The slow communication speeds of the day meant neither side in the battle knew the war was over.
