The Union victory at New Orleans which took place on January 8, 1815 had significant losses for the British as well as many losses for Jackson's crew. It was a severe defeat because a peace treaty had been signed in Ghent, Belgium on December 24, 1814 and the soldiers did not know.

Why was the Unions naval victory at new Orleans a disaster to the confederacy?

The loss of New Orleans meant the loss of the use of the Mississippi River as an outlet for southern exports of crops and imports of war materials. The Mississippi was the great natural pathway for trade of most of the Confederate states - basically all except those few with an Atlantic coastline. New Orleans was also one of the biggest cities in the south and one of the few with any industry to speak of. The south could ill afford to lose this scarce industrial production.


Was the US withdrawal from Vietnam a defeat or victory for the US?

It could hardly be called a victory because the objective was not achieved, and South Vietnam collapsed shortly afterward. Neither would I call it a defeat in the military sense, as the French were defeated at Dienbienphu. I would call it cutting the losses and walking away, and the US was not the first or the last country to do that.
