Answer:

Jean Laffite was a French privateer and smuggler who built an illegal colony south of New Orleans in Barataria Bay. In the War of 1812, he fought for the United States against the British. The US Army and Navy wiped away his colony, but his business thrived. In the Battle of New Orleans, the Baratarians, as they were called, fought valiantly.

President Madison pardoned Laffite and his crew, but they returned to piracy after the war. In 1819, he became the governor of Galveston, Texas, for a brief period of time.

Why is American Government and Politics important?

Marianna [84]

Answer:

My dad's friend once told me that there's only three major reasons as to why the government/politics are important:

1. Governmental and political decisions impact almost every aspect of our everyday lives.

2. Having knowledge of politics helps make you an informed voter.

And 3. Politics are entertaining.

Okay, to be honest, politics don't really entertain me, but you know what, that's just my opinion, I know that plenty of people find politics entertaining, I'm just not one of them.

But yeah, anyway.

There are your top three :)
