Q5: What did Jackson have built to protect New Orleans from an attack by the British?

A5: A weak 12-gun fortification.

Q6: What combination of events led to the British defeat at New Orleans?

A6:

October 24, 1814

Edward Pakenham receives orders to command the expedition against New Orleans

November 6–7, 1814

Seeking to deny the British a fortified harbor, Andrew Jackson’s forces enter and temporarily occupy Pensacola after a short, fierce skirmish against Spanish troops; the British depart after blowing up Fort Barrancas.

November 19–22, 1814

Still not knowing where the British force will strike, Jackson leaves some troops to protect Mobile and proceeds to New Orleans, traveling overland to personally scout possible British landing sites.

December 1, 1814

Andrew Jackson reaches New Orleans, makes a public address to rally the citizens, and establishes his headquarters. Meanwhile, Admiral Cochrane’s advance ships appear off the passes of the Mississippi.

December 14, 1814

Battle of Lake Borgne: The Battle of Lake Borgne ends with the British capture of American gunboats.

December 16, 1814

Jackson declares martial law in New Orleans, while two British officers dressed as local fishermen secretly reconnoiter a route to the city via Bayou Bienvenue to the Villeré and Delaronde Plantations. British troops begin mustering at Isle aux Poix (Pea Island), near the mouth of the Pearl River.

December 20, 1814

Two bodies of Tennessee Militia under Generals Coffee and Carroll reach New Orleans, along with Thomas Hinds’s Mississippi Dragoons.

December 23, 1814

British Landing and Night Battle: Jackson attacks after nightfall, stopping the British advance; the Americans fall back and begin construction of a defensive line behind the Rodriguez Canal.

January 8, 1815

Final Battle of New Orleans: The main British attack on the east bank of the Mississippi is repulsed with heavy British casualties and the deaths of Generals Pakenham and Gibbs; Pakenham’s successor, Major General Lambert, decides that he cannot exploit a successful British attack on the west bank and orders his forces to withdraw.

Q7: How many British and American casualties were there from the battle of New Orleans?

A7: The assault on Jackson’s fortifications was a fiasco, costing the British some 2,000 casualties including three generals and seven colonels—all of it in the span of only 30 minutes. Amazingly, Jackson’s ragtag outfit had lost fewer than 100 men.

Which issue was addressed in the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850?
Eddi Din [679]

A. balance of free states and slave states

Explanation:

  • The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was very important for various reasons. The compromise itself resolved, for the time being, the dispute over where slavery should and could exist in recently acquired Louisiana territory. He urged that slavery did not exist above the 36 ° 30 'longitude. The exception was Missouri, which entered the Union in 1820 as a slave state under compromise.
  • In addition to Missouri, Maine also entered the Union as a free state (formerly part of Massachusetts) to balance the number of free and slave states in the nation. This seeks to achieve equality of slaves and free states, along with a balance in Congress.
  • The Compromise of 1850 was a set of laws passed in Congress that sought to address the issue of slavery, which soon divided the nation.
  • The legislation was highly controversial and passed only after a long series of battles on Capitol Hill. It was destined to be unpopular, as almost every part of the nation found something that disliked its provisions.
  • Yet the 1850 compromise served its purpose.  It kept the Union apart for a while, and essentially delayed the outbreak of the Civil War for a decade.
