Lego Battle of New Orleans - stopmotion

On the morning of January 8, 1815 the Americans
defending the town of New Orleans were attacked by the
British. Behind their fortifications they opened fire upon
the exposed British infantry. Suffering 10 times the
casualties as the Americans, the British soon retreated.
The Battle of New Orleans was the last battle of the
War of 1812.

Cool fact: America and Great Britain had already signed a peace treaty before the Battle of New Orleans happened, but because the news of it took so long to get there, neither side knew there was already peace. This battle was also one of the major reasons Andrew Jackson became president.

I’m impressed by your attention to the historical details, such as how colonel Jackson hired privateers who were highly efficient with cannons for the defense of the fort

[d.o.f.t.]

I love the extreme attention to detail. The native Americans and slaves in the American ranks was impressive. The way you showed all the officers being cut down was fairly accurate too. I read that by the end of the battle there was not a single high ranking British officer alive.

The funny thing about this battle is that the war was already over when it happened. It was just that since communication was so slow, they hadn't found out.

I like your attention to detail! The fact that criminals, Indians, and pirates were added was also true of the actual battle.

Love the Lego portrayal of my ancestor Andrew Jackson!!

Great video! One thing that the American's did at this battle was they were rotating loaded and unloaded firearms from the front of the line to the back. They were reloaded in the back, passed them down to the front of the line to be fired. That way the front line was able to constantly fire upon the British without having to reload.

I remember our class taking a Field Trip to the Battle of New Orleans Battle Field. We pretended to battle the British. I was in the 2nd grade and I still remember that day still. I'm 46 now.. 🇺🇸

What I love about your videos is the diversity of them--different battles from different wars, amazing sets and fluid movements, but very few stop motions of yours all are part of the same war, and the diversity always makes one excited for what u will do next!

Great work! Excellent detail to animation and warfare mechanics.

[spoot-erman]

The quality of the stop motion and editing is amazing keep up the great work!

Ol' Hickory said we can take em' by surprise if we didn't fire muskets till we look em in the eyes.

[Luciano.Contreras]

The video is so real it is truly one of my favorties

"We fired our guns and the British kepta comin'. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago"

[chaselegoman]

My brain: Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Don't you do

My mouth: (deep inhale) *IN EIGHTEEN-FOURTEEN WE TOOK A LITTLE TRIP, ALONG WITH COLONEL JACKSON DOWN THE MIGHTY MISSISSIP'*

[darryldouglasmarbaniang]

A fitting animation that showcased Andrew Jackson's brilliant planning and tactical sense. A true American war hero and later President of the United States. I salute you.
The British were quite overconfident in the certainty of victory, and this stemmed from the character of their commanding officers at the time.

[VPLOSTUDIOS]

Amazing animation, the movements of the figures, especially the bullet impact reactions!

[thefieldmarshal]

Wow there’s so much detail to this! Even the flag blows in the wind...and the overall camera movements are epic!
