Original Message I read some guy from south Alabama's ramblings on a historical blog's comments sections that the Battle of New Orleans actually took place near Mobile, AL because there is no way in hell Andy Jackson could march his troops from Pensacola, Fl all the way across the Gulf Coast swampland (gators, snakes, malaria) to New Orleans, LA...there were no fukkn roads or bridges so it seems they met up with the Brits in Mobile Bay and the Secretary of War at the time covered up the map fuck up...all the landmarks mentioned and lattitude markers placed by surveyors are at the top of the Mobile Bay, not Lake Ponchartrain.

They were 130 miles short of New Orleans and just said fuck it...

He also said something about the early maps of the Southeastern US being wrongly turned 90 degrees and that the early major historical battles were fought in different cities and states than what we were taught.

Was he off his rocker or is this remotely plausible and Andy Jackson, an illiterate was rewarded with a presidency for keeping his mouth shut...
