Battle of New Orleans (January 8, 1815), the final military engagement between the United States and Great Britain in the War of 1812. Led by General Andrew Jackson, U.S. troops were victorious despite being outnumbered by British troops led by General Edward Pakenham.
The battle took place 15 days after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the War of 1812, on December 24, 1814, though it would not be ratified by the United States (and therefore did not take effect) until February 16, 1815, as news of the agreement had not yet reached the United States from Europe.
