Hundreds of dead and dying men lay strewn about, their red-coated bodies mangled and shattered by American grapeshot, bullets and cannonballs. Occasionally, a ghastly figure would struggle to his feet and stagger forward to surrender or run back to the safety of the British line. "I never had so grand and awful an idea of the resurrection as on that day," Jackson later recalled. In Patriotic Fire, Winston Groom tells the astonishing story of how a ragtag corps of backwoodsmen, Louisiana creoles, refugees, pirates, Indians and free African Americans defeated a large, disciplined, experienced and professional British army at the Battle of New Orleans on Jan. 8, 1815 -- a day that Americans used to celebrate as a national resurrection. Groom, the author of Forrest Gump and several works of military history, has written a book that's neither original nor entirely reliable; it is pieced together from other historians' scholarship and occasionally dubious sources. Yet it is lively and interesting to read against the backdrop of current events. The Battle of New Orleans closed the final chapter of the War of 1812, an odd conflict sparked by British encroachments on American shipping. After two years of fighting on the Canadian border, the British took the war to the southern states. They burned the national capital and then struck at Louisiana, where they ran smack into "Old Hickory." Andrew Jackson bestrides Groom's history like a stricken colossus, one of the wonders of our bygone world. Wracked by dysentery and still carrying a bullet from a recent duel, the tall and stubborn Jackson rallied the citizens of the country's southwestern frontier -- first to crush an Indian uprising known as the Red Stick rebellion in the Mississippi Territory, then to repel the British invasion of Louisiana. This was no mean feat, since popular nationalism alone was not sufficient to pull an American army together. At one point early in 1814, for instance, Jackson's citizen-soldiers abandoned him, and only a fresh cohort of new recruits arriving in the nick of time allowed him to resume his genocidal campaign against the Red Sticks. Playing second fiddle is Jean Laffite, the famous privateer who has been so forgotten by history that he has only inspired two movies, countless histories and novels, a national park and more than one tourist trap. Historians will surely be dismayed by Groom's credulous use of a 19th-century memoir alleged to have been written by Laffite, yet of dubious authenticity. Groom sums up his approach to these controversial documents by asserting that, "as of right now they cannot be proved or disproved," so he chooses to err on the side of a good story. Jackson and Laffite were both practical men. Jackson needed all the help he could get, so he accepted the service of Choctaw Indians and free African Americans and employed hundreds of slaves for military labor. He embraced Laffite for the same reason. A prosperous dealer in contraband and slaves, Laffite did not want to alienate his best customers, and doing a good turn for the Americans might help him and fellow smugglers out of legal trouble. In short, he stood to profit more from siding with the Americans than with the British. More mercenary than patriot, Laffite soon returned to his marauding ways. It's hard to read Patriotic Fire without thinking of our current crises in Iraq and New Orleans. Groom highlights the smug overconfidence of the invaders, who thought they could waltz into New Orleans and plunder it. Instead, the British commander Edward Pakenham was killed on the field of battle and his corpse sent home packed in rum. As humiliating as defeat was, perhaps it saved the British from the "catastrophic success" of a prolonged occupation, for Groom suggests that the British would have retained Louisiana if they had won the battle. One wonders whether the Americans would then have waged guerrilla warfare against the hated British interlopers. Famously, the United States and Great Britain signed a peace treaty in Europe two weeks before the Battle of New Orleans, but awkward timing has not diminished the glow of Jackson's victory. Groom concludes that the Battle of New Orleans "forever settled the question of whether democracy could work." This is patriotic nonsense. Leaving aside the matter of whether a slave society should be called democratic, Jackson essentially suspended civil government for the duration of the conflict by imposing martial law on Louisiana. Chalk one up for democracy! More importantly, the question of whether democracy works is never fully settled. Just ask the displaced citizens of New Orleans -- if you can find them.
