General Jackson received a tip from a nearby plantation owner that the British army was headed for New Orleans, so Jackson was prepared. The battle began on the morning of January 8, 1815. British General Pakenham began the battle by firing off a rocket. Pakenham's troops included battle proven troops. Despite that, Jackson's men fired at the attacking British and gave them terrible losses. Jackson's men used cannons and accurate riflemen to blast away the British advance. The British suffered heavy casualties including the death of General Pakenham.
