The peace treaty (Treaty of Ghent) had already been signed weeks before, so the war was already over, but word of this treaty had not yet reached any of the troops in America, so the British and American troops were still fighting vigorously.

∙ 13y agoThe 'textbook' answer for this question is that the treaty ending the War of 1812 had already been signed prior to the Battle of New Orleans.
The actual truth is that the battle was anything but meaningless. Britain wished to lay claim to the Gulf Coast. The treaty ending the war said nothing about the status of the Gulf Coast region. Britain did not recognize the French sale of New Orleans to America. If they had won at the Battle of New Orleans, Britain would have had a basis to claim the Gulf Coast and Mississippi Valley for the empire.
The British fleet (following the defeat at New Orleans) went on to attack other, smaller US outposts on the Gulf Coast, particularly Fort Bowyer, guarding Mobile.

Are tribal tattoos still in?
only idiots get meaningless tatoos. tribal=meaningless therefore, tribal=stupid Well, there is your average opinion. As an artist, I feel they are over played, but what really isn't. Tribal is considered one of the most over-done tattoos, and most people get them just because they cannot think of anything better. Most of my tattoos have no meaning to them, and I feel that they shouldn't. I have a bio-mechanical tattoo. Bio-mech is essentially tribal in 3-d. Meaningless, maybe, but I still have it. Who really cares what is a fad tattoo, and what isn't. YOU should get the tattoo because YOU like it.
