Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of New Orleans Reconsidered arose organically from the rich heritage of St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The same land that was witness to the Battle of New Orleans would also spawn a unique and vibrant culture known for close-knit families, good food, refineries and the activities centered around the bountiful wetlands. Academic cultural offerings were rare when the Nunez History Lecture Series began in 2001. Some folks at Nunez Community College, the only institution of higher education in the Parish, decided to tell the stories of the people of St. Bernard and Louisiana, hoping that a handful of others might also be interested. After 14 seasons of over 100 lectures and an average attendance of over 100 people, the Lecture Series is still finding new stories to tell. A natural outgrowth of the Lecture Series was to feature a more detailed treatment of the second most important historical event in St. Bernard Parish history, the Battle of New Orleans. And the College was the natural place since the battlefield was in sight of the campus on a clear day. However, the plans for the first Symposium were delayed by a few years when the most important historical event in St. Bernard Parish history, Hurricane Katrina, left six feet of water across the Nunez campus and up to seventeen feet of water across the rest of the Parish. By January of 2013, the first Battle of New Orleans Historical Symposium was held at the College, with the audience likely sitting in the exact spot that soldiers mustered for the Battle. Once the Symposium became established and successful, the only nagging problem was the ephemeral nature of the knowledge being created. With some of the most passionate and knowledgeable speakers in the nation, it just seemed natural to expand and preserve the great information being presented. So in a labor of love, many of the top lecturers agreed to put pen to paper and tell the story of the Battle of New Orleans in greater detail. The result is The Battle of New Orleans Reconsidered

Book Synopsis The Battle of New Orleans in History and Memory by : Laura Lyons McLemore
Download or read book The Battle of New Orleans in History and Memory written by Laura Lyons McLemore and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of New Orleans proved a critical victory for the United States, a young nation defending its nascent borders, but over the past two hundred years, myths have obscured the facts about the conflict. In The Battle of New Orleans in History and Memory, distinguished experts in military, social, art, and music history sift the real from the remembered, illuminating the battle’s lasting significance across multiple disciplines. Laura Lyons McLemore sets the stage by reviewing the origins of the War of 1812, followed by essays that explore how history and memory intermingle. Donald R. Hickey examines leading myths found in the collective memory—some, embellishments originating with actual participants, and others invented out of whole cloth. Other essayists focus on specific figures: Mark R. Cheathem explores how Andrew Jackson’s sensational reputation derived from contemporary anecdotes and was perpetuated by respected historians, and Leslie Gregory Gruesbeck considers the role visual imagery played in popular perception and public memory of battle hero Jackson. Other contributors unpack the broad social and historical significance of the battle, from Gene Allen Smith’s analysis of black participation in the War of 1812 and the subsequent worsening of American racial relations, to Blake Dunnavent’s examination of leadership lessons from the war that can benefit the U.S. military today. Paul Gelpi makes the case that the Creole Battalion d’Orleans became protectors of American liberty in the course of defending New Orleans from the British. Examining the European context, Alexander Mikaberidze shows that America’s second conflict with Britain was more complex than many realize or remember. Joseph F. Stoltz III illustrates how commemorations of the battle, from memorials to schoolbooks, were employed over the years to promote various civic and social goals. Finally, Tracey E. W. Laird analyzes variations of the tune “The Battle of New Orleans,” revealing how it has come to epitomize the battle in the collective memory.

Had they continued to treat the young republic with the justice and liberality to which they agreed in fixing its western boundary in the treaty of 1783, no matter what their motive may have been, there would have been no cause for war between the two countries.

Download or read book The Battle of New Orleans written by Z. F. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are countless examples of battles that take place in wars after a peace treaty is signed. The last battle of the Civil War was a skirmish in Texas that Confederate forces won, nearly a month after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. But it's certainly rare for the most famous battle of a war to take place after the peace treaty is signed. Luckily for Andrew Jackson, the War of 1812 was that unique exception. Less than a year after his victory in the Battle of Horseshoe Creek, Jackson led his forces into a more important battle at the Battle of New Orleans. The British hoped to grab as much of the land on the western frontier as they could, especially New Orleans, which had a prominent position on the Mississippi River for trading. With more than 8,000 soldiers aboard a British fleet sailing in from Jamaica in early January 1815, the attack on New Orleans promised to be a significant one, while Jackson's men defended New Orleans with about half that number. This went on despite the fact that the two sides had signed the Treaty of Ghent on Christmas Eve 1814, which was supposed to end the war. However, the slow nature of bringing news from England to America ensured that the battle would take place anyway.

Book Synopsis The Capture of New Orleans 1862 by : Chester G. Hearn
Download or read book The Capture of New Orleans 1862 written by Chester G. Hearn and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 24, 1862, Federal gunboats made their way past two Confederate forts to ascend the Mississippi, and the Union navy captured the city of New Orleans. How did the South lose its most important city? In this exhaustively researched, authoritative, well-argued study, Chester Hearn examines the decisions, actions, individuals, and events that brought about the capture of New Orleans - and forever weakened the Confederate war machine. Hearn directs his inquiry to the heart of government, both Union and Confederate, and takes a hard look at the selection of military and naval leaders, the use of natural and financial resources, and the performances of all personnel involved. The decisions of Jefferson Davis, Stephen R. Mallory, and three Confederate secretaries of war, he holds, were as much to blame for the fall of New Orleans as David Farragut's warships. Hearn also scrutinizes the role of Major General Mansfield Lovell and evaluates the investigation that ended his career. Hearn's explorations bring us into a flourishing New Orleans and introduce Louisiana leaders Thomas O. Moore and the debilitated old men sent to prepare the state for war: Major General David E. Twiggs and Commodore Lawrence Rousseau. We follow their trifling efforts to defend the lower Mississippi and General Lovell's frustrations in attempting to arm forts and obtain cooperation from the navy, and we come to understand the dismay of such leaders as P.G.T. Beauregard and Braxton Bragg as they witnessed this bungling. Hearn traces the building of the ironclads Manassas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and investigates the reason for their failure to defend New Orleans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the remarkable history of the Battle of New Orleans... The deciding battle of the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans, was won by the Americans on January 8, 1815, a few scant weeks after the British and American negotiators signed the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war, at least on paper. Assessed from that perspective, it might be regarded as an unnecessary battle of no importance, but nothing could be further from the truth. Had the British triumphed, it's likely that they would have exploited their victory by maintaining control of New Orleans and the Mississippi River. The vast expanse of lands sold by Napoleon Bonaparte to Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana Purchase might have been restored to its original realm, Spain, thereby cutting off the young American nation from westward expansion. Had Great Britain conquered New Orleans, the British would have held a position of dominance on the North American continent; the United States as we know it today might never have reached its status as a world power had its boundaries been tethered by the British. But the British did not win. Instead, the Battle of New Orleans bequeathed to the Americans a destiny which would rival anything the Founding Fathers could have imagined.
