Trivia[]
The Battle of New Orleans was the last major battle of the War of 1812 (although a peace agreement had already been reached in December 1814) and the one that after the American victory, boosted the political career of Andrew Jackson towards the presidency by 1829.
At the launch of the Definitive Edition, Jackson was only mentioned as "American General", because his figure is somewhat controversial for the actions he performed during his presidency (many of his actions proved divisive, garnering both fervent support and strong opposition from many in the country. His reputation has suffered since the 1970s, largely due to his anti-abolitionist views and policy of the forcible removal of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands (Trail of Tears). However, surveys of historians and scholars have ranked Jackson favorably among U.S. Presidents).
Battle of New Orleans does not list Jackson as a protagonist, making it the only Historical Battles campaign to not list a protagonist.
