General Andrew Jackson was in charge of defending New Orleans from an assault by the British. Several of his actions before any conflict were not popular. Jackson imposed strict martial law on the city of New Orleans. This civil unrest was made more complicated by Baratarian pirates led by jean Lafitte. Because Jackson needed all the troops he could find, he reached an agreement with Lafitte to help defend New Orleans. Lafitte had been offered a deal by the British but considered it to be too small, and turned the British offers down.
