Yes. The Battle of New Orleans, on January 8, 1815, was the last battle of the War of 1812 between the US and Britain. It occurred because the British, having successfully attacked some cities on the East Coast, tried to exert pressure on the US by seizing New orleans, the valuable port through which all frontier commerce had to pass along the Mississippi River. The peace treaty had already been signed at Ghent (December 24, 1814), but had yet to reach Congress. It was not ratified until February 18, 1815. A British victory (even under the terms of the treaty) might have resulted in a continued British presence in the lower Mississippi Valley.

∙ 11y agoNo, the battle of new Orleans was fought against the British during the War of 1812. However, it took place about 2 weeks after the war ended. This is because news of the war being over didn't reach New Orleans until after the battle was fought.
