A key factor in this battle was Thomas Mullins' failure to remember to bring ladders, which led to his later court martial. A group of Ursuline nuns prayed to a devotional image titled "Our Lady of Prompt Succor" prior to this battle. The winning side here received supplies from the steamboat Enterprise, which soon after made a historic trip to Brownsville. The losing side in this battle had earlier acquired a landing zone in the Battle of Lake Borgne, and its commander, Edward (*) Pakenham, died during it. Pirate Jean Lafitte was pardoned for his service in this battle, which technically ended several days after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. For 10 points, name this military victory for Andrew Jackson, the final major battle of the War of 1812.
