Where did the civil war battle of New Orleans take place?

Answer 1

Initial engagements

By December 12, 1814, a British fleet, with more than 10,000 soldiers and sailors under the command of Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, had arrived off the eastern Louisiana coast at Lake Borgne. Protecting the entrance to Lake Borgne were five American gunboats. On December 14, in a brief but violent battle, British sailors in rowing boats, each boat armed with a small cannon, captured the vastly outnumbered gunboats. Now free to navigate Lake Borgne, soldiers of the British Army were rowed to an encampment on Pea Island, about 30 miles from New Orleans.

On the morning of December 23, a vanguard of 1,500 to 2,000 British soldiers, under General John Keane, reached the east bank of the Mississippi River, less than ten miles south of New Orleans. Later that day, when news of the British position reached Jackson at New Orleans he reportedly said, "Gentlemen, the British are below us, we fight them tonight." Jackson quickly sent about 2,000 of his troops from New Orleans to a position immediately north of the British to block them from making any further advances toward the city. Jackson, because he needed time to get his artillery into position, decided to immediately attack the British.

Answer 2

The Civil War Battle of New Orleans took place on the mouth of the Mississippi River, where Admiral Farragut led a Union fleet of 16 ships and a mortar flotilla on April 18,1862.

After bombarding but with little effect the Confederate Fort Jackson on the west bank and Fort St. Philip on the east side of the river for six days, Farragut

decided to make the fleet slip past the forts. The operation began at 2 AM of April 24th and was successfully carried out by dawn with the loss of only three small gunboats. Then the Union Fleet encountered and annihilated the inferior Confederate river fleet. The way to New Orleans was now opened and

the Confederate garrison evacuated the city before the arrival of Farragut Fleet.
