Lego Battle of New Orleans - stopmotion

On the morning of January 8, 1815 the Americans
defending the town of New Orleans were attacked by the
British. Behind their fortifications they opened fire upon
the exposed British infantry. Suffering 10 times the
casualties as the Americans, the British soon retreated.
The Battle of New Orleans was the last battle of the
War of 1812.

Cool fact: America and Great Britain had already signed a peace treaty before the Battle of New Orleans happened, but because the news of it took so long to get there, neither side knew there was already peace. This battle was also one of the major reasons Andrew Jackson became president.

[@jonathansmith8672]

Wasn't that peace treaty called the Treaty of Ghent?

I love the extreme attention to detail. The native Americans and slaves in the American ranks was impressive. The way you showed all the officers being cut down was fairly accurate too. I read that by the end of the battle there was not a single high ranking British officer alive.

The funny thing about this battle is that the war was already over when it happened. It was just that since communication was so slow, they hadn't found out.

[@kidz4p509]

@Ethan Well, at least, communication has greatly improved in the following years.

[@thunderbird1921]

Half true, Britain had agreed to a peace treaty, but knew they technically could still fight until the US government approved it. Thus, they wanted to get the best result possible before than. The ULTIMATE prize would be to seize New Orleans and then move to cut off the vast Louisiana territory from the US and keep America from expanding much further in the future. Andrew Jackson later said a British victory essentially could have nullified the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon. This plan of course failed disastrously, and the British were forced to simply withdraw and end their offensives (the Congress approved the peace treaty weeks after the Battle of New Orleans).

[@pepperVenge]

Great video! One thing that the American's did at this battle was they were rotating loaded and unloaded firearms from the front of the line to the back. They were reloaded in the back, passed them down to the front of the line to be fired. That way the front line was able to constantly fire upon the British without having to reload.

[@florendilhobbit2099]

That was pretty much Standard in all of the Developed armys since the pike and shot era.

[@thunderbird1921]

That ACTUALLY happened. The British commanders had their troops advance into the woods, in a fog, to engage the fortified Americans. It was an absolutely stupid move viewed in retrospect and I think it shows their overconfidence and arrogance. Wellington was furious when he heard about it over in Europe (he had already been advising the British govt to make peace with the US, but this took the cake for him).
