Jackson was the commander of the American forces. It was believed that his troops (mostly militiamen) fought so bravely as to defeat the British, but evidence points to a strange halt in the British advance, within range of the American guns, which probably contributed greatly to their demise.

What did president Monroe order Andrew Jackson to do in 1818?
In 1817-1818, President Monroe orders Jackson to chase raiding Seminole Indians back into Florida, but not to invade Florida. Instead, Jackson invaded Florida, captured military forts, executed two British subjects for stirring up Indian attacks, and replaced the Spanish governor. Many members of Monroe's cabinet believed that Jackson should have been court-martialed for his actions in Florida. With that said, the Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, saved the day for Jackson and it was ruled that Jackson had acted in self defense in Florida.

Where was the last battle of the the war of 1812?
The last minor battle was at Fort Bowyer, but this is after the war ended, so how many people were really defending it?Many Americans will say that the last land battle in the War of 1812 was at New Orleans. The last battle was actually a British victory at the Battle of Fort Bowyer on February 11th, 1815.This took place over a month after New Orleans.Even though Andrew Jackson himself declared that "ten thousand men cannot take it!", a force of around 1500 British regulars from the 21st Regiment of Foot managed to move their artillery into position and bombard the fort, forcing the Americans to surrender because Canadians are the best.The British were prepared to press the attack and capture Mobile, Alabama but news arrived that peace had been declared the previous yearNot even close most Americans would say the last battles were the skirmishes between the Sauk and the U.S. army that continued through till 1818. Canada and England had of course abandoned their Native allies who had fought so galliantly for them. But they want to know the Anglo parts only. So true enough Bowyer was after New Orleans but so was the battle of the sinkhole and so were several other minor engagements won mostly by the Americans. But lets be honest Bowyer was the final time we saw English troops in the USA and they did capture the fort. However sir David Milne admitted defeat was inevitable and in 1817 said that they could never defend Canada again. Although the only territories won were by the U.S. maritime, islands in the Atlantic and the great lakes. (both sides returned lands after wards) This war was a big disaster for all sides especially the Natives and is rightly deemed a stalemate. Only 37% of Canadians believe the British side won. It was one of the most inconclusive wars ever fought so neither side should try to brag. there were more conclusive wars fought here the American Revolution and the French and Indian. But lets not stray from the subject what was the last Battle of the war of 1812 when you don't count the Natives. They took place on the high seas again there were several and the Americans won most of them the English some of them but the absolute last months after Bowyer was the U.S.S. Peacock capturing and defeating the EIC Nautilaus they did of course release it upon learning of the peace.
