The British had a three wave plan. Invade from Canada, with support of the Indians. Invade from the east and take Washington, which would inspire the Indians, Invade from the south, where New Orleans was, promising help to the native Americans in that region.

New Orleans also was a big city, and full of different cultures combining there.
