Andy Jackson whipped English butts at Nawlins.

Yep - and the Cajuns brought some gunpowder to the party.

Of course those butts Andy kicked were the same English that had kicked a whole lot of French butts in Spain during the Napoleonic wars.

Would make an interesting alternative history to have Wellington instead of Packenham commanding at New Orleans.

Old Andy would of had his hands full.

Seriously doubt there were Cajuns at the battle of New Orleans.

"We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind."
