We should hold a party commemorating the Battle of New Orleans where British suffered the most lopsided of all defeats, ironically after the war was officially over.

We do, at the battlefield in Chalmette, Louisiana. Annually.

The next anniversary of the battle is the bicentennial, so it'll be a much larger event than usual.

Hmm, wonder if they’ll be commemorating the taking of Fort Bowyer, Alabama by the British, shortly after the Battle of New Orleans? News of the end of the war was the only thing that stopped Britain from taking Mobile Alabama afterwards.
