Can you at least say you don’t respect him for owning blk ppl as “Slaves” 🤷‍♂️ its 2024

[@ProjectPast1565]

While this video might focus on his role in a specific historical event, I can obviously say I don’t agree with the fact that he owned slaves. This part of his legacy and his views towards Native Americans are not worthy of respect. Like you said, it’s 2024 and we know these actions by those who came before are reprehensible. This is why history is important.

[@letsgetitthen4507]

@@ProjectPast1565 thank you I respect that. Well we’re about to protest and boycott Jacksonville Florida bc in 2024 they still honor him with the name of the city and his big statue downtown. If a city was named hitlerville fl everybody especially the Jews would protest and burn it down. Can the black man and woman get the same respect? ✊ but thanks for being a righteous hearted man 🤝

My 5th great grandfather, Drury Stovall, was one of the US soldiers killed during the battle of Chalmette. My wife and I were able to visit this battlefield 2 months ago and it was a great experience.

[@ProjectPast1565]

I appreciate you sharing your family’s story. It was a great visit and I learned a ton.

The music choice is just top notch again!

Great video. Very interesting to learn something new about the forgotten battle of New Orleans. Those cannons are also beautiful preserved.

[@ProjectPast1565]

It’s an interesting battle to learn about. Thanks for watching man!

[@DustinWiseM1]

Great video. Don’t know much about war of 1812 and this video of the Battle of New Orleans was very helpful.

[@elCapitan007]

My great great great great grandfather William Jesse Rogers also known as "Billy Bowlegs" was one of the pirates who fought along side Jean Lafitte with some Choctaw Indians. As the British retreated back to Mobile Lafitte, Rogers and a handful of pirates and Indians chased and harassed the Britts through the swamps and woods killing as many as they could using gorilla warfare tactics.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Wow. Appreciate you sharing your family’s story.

[@lthom5158]

Great video! Very informative! Love seeing where the canal, battle lines, and cannon placement was.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Appreciate that! It was cool to see in person. Really helped me understand it a little better.

[@Heavilymoderated]

I miss that area. Grew up five minutes away from the battlefield. Was a different place back then.

[@TribeTaz]

Very nice video. I knew a bit about the battle, but you filled In a few gaps. Amazing how such a smaller force defeated a larger force

[@ProjectPast1565]

I learned a ton doing this video. I’d like to go back and re-do this one.

[@gregritchie9596]

Really well done and seeing the ground adds so much to the historical reality of the battle! Corps. Is still pronounced “core,” though.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Appreciate that! Seeing the terrain really helps me understand the battle. Haha yes I’m aware just another brain 💨 for me.

[@PatRMG]

Solid video. I make it a point to visit many of the Eastern coast sites such as this, anytime possible. Gulf Coast, next.

[@ProjectPast1565]

It was a great place. Anytime there is a battlefield nearby I try to set time aside to visit. Thanks for watching!

[@thequintanashow5058]

Well done video.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Appreciate the feedback and kind words. Thanks for watching as well.

[@bolt4694]

The open ground was over swampland which limited mobility and use of heavy artillery. This was the major reason for the British defeat.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Yeah I covered that briefly at 5:22. Couldn’t imagine trying to march across that ground while under fire.

[@JamesStewart-i6c]

Very interesting I learned a lot

[@ProjectPast1565]

Thanks for watching. I learn a ton as well filming.

[@ralphgeigner5497]

I was in this area in 1998, I need to get back to it. Uniforms, cannon and other weapons during this period are interesting, so much for the Victors of the Napoleonic wars ! The BRITS !

[@ProjectPast1565]

I’m the same way. The tactics, weapons and uniforms are fascinating to me.

[@ralphgeigner5497]

@@ProjectPast1565 Hello, The REV War, War of 1812, War with Mexico, Civil War ( mostly the CSA side of , there many differences in Equipment, Weapons, Uniforms, cannon ) And WWII War in Europe, and Eastern Front, are of most interest to me. I was a CSA reenactor for many years, but no longer can do the infantry part of things, but am still a drummer and do guard duty's etc. Camp Stuff, one of one with the public, THX for the great video, I need to visit some battle site again, been a while.

@@ralphgeigner5497 thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you can see the battlefield again sometime soon.

@@ProjectPast1565 Hello, Years ago, we took a vacation to the Niagara area and Canadian side, it was interesting just how much of the War Of 1812 was fought in that area.

[@ProjectPast1565]

@@ralphgeigner5497 oh wow. That’s cool! Another forgotten aspect of the war of 1812

Thanks for the video, you have a John Travokta chin! Currently obsessed with Andrew Jackson

[@ProjectPast1565]

Thanks for watching. He’s a very interesting guy to learn about. I’ve been told I’m the John Travolta of my generation 😂

Outstanding tour of the battlefield, great overview if you're reading "Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans"

[@ProjectPast1565]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@HuesopandillaGlorius]

For me it was no miracle, it was just the effect of Jackson's superior ingenuity.

[@rodneyadamson8270]

I am distantly related to Renato Beluche ❤

[@bruceweaver1518]

A good book to read about this conflict is “Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans@ by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yeager. Sentinel Publications 2017.

[@Aridzonan13]

Lafitte & Associates supplied the powder and flint.. Many of Lafitte's men had fought for Napoleon against the Brits.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Interesting! Thanks for watching

[@barrysorento3572]

The war want over during the battle. Neither congress nor parliament ratified the peace treaty at the time

[@ProjectPast1565]

The treaty was signed on Dec 24th 1814 but yes, it wasn’t ratified until Feb by the US government due to word traveling so slow. The treaty was approved by the British Parliament and signed into law by the Prince Regent (the future King George IV) on December 30, 1814.

[@RedoubtProductions1754]

The battle that completes the Mad Libs of american history that is the War of 1812.

[@ProjectPast1565]

It was such a strange conflict. Just when I think I understand it a bit I find myself confused again.

[@nathanembry9245]

The war hadn't ended at the time of the battle. Neither congress nor parliament had ratified the treaty. If the British won this battle, they would cut off western expansions (west of Mississippi river).
