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.
