But, very likely it was necessary for Jackson to destroy the British. Had the British won the battle, it is certain they would have occupied the city of N.O. and controlled the flow of shipping on the Mississippi. Hard to believe the British would have then given the city up and relinquished control of the river and all the traffic. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.
Mainly I wanted to make sure it was not built over with a few signs to read.

The chicory coffee is another matter...
My wife likes chicory coffee, I want the real deal. Everyone I’ve talked to have really liked the WW2 museum, and suggest more than 1 day to see it.
