Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, kt's 200-year-old-grudge theory seems a bit dubious. First, while, in 1812, Jackson and his army was ordered to New Orleans, they were halted and reassigned to the Mississippi area, where he a few months later became embroiled in the Creek war and a fight in Florida with the Spanish. These activities were on the periphery, strategically and geographically, of the War of 1812. Then in late 1814 Jackson learned of British plans to attack New Orleans and went there, arriving late in 1814. US deaths in that battle were 13, with another 19 missing or captured (IOW, 32 max).
Maybe I'm missing something - and would not mind learning better - but kt's 200-year-old-grudge theory about Andrew Jackson looks utterly bogus. And his claim that 64% of casualties in the War of 1812 were from Kentucky seems ridiculous on its face.
